Mount Sinai researchers have published the first organ-wide human skin spatial atlas from across the body. It provides an unprecedentedly detailed view of healthy human skin, revealing cellular ...

Recent studies integrating multi-omics data with cell atlases across development for brains of humans and model organisms are revealing conserved and divergent patterns of brain development at the ...

Every pregnancy depends on an organ that most people will never see. As organs go, the placenta — the tissue that surrounds a developing fetus — is a jack of all trades. It can filter toxins like a ...

Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral network begins to take shape long before birth, as the cells of a growing embryo ...

In an age when artificial intelligence may surpass us in many endeavors, fetal development strikes me as an irreplaceable ...

A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into ...

Developing neocortex in Down syndrome. IT neurons are labeled in magenta and deep-layer neurons in green. IT and double-positive neurons are increased in DS at this stage [de la Torre-Ubieta Lab] A ...

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has spent the past decade maturing into a foundational technology. Over that time, the technology has both laid the foundation for building cell atlases and allowed ...
