Scientists have created the most detailed map to date, comprised of over 3 million cells, showing how breast tissue changes ...

In the 16th century, the Belgian cartographer Abraham Ortelius created the world’s first modern atlas — a collection of maps that he called “The Theater of the World.” The maps, drawn by Ortelius and ...

A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

A comprehensive map has been built of cell types in a mammalian brain using spatial and single-cell genomics. The atlas delineates several thousand cell populations across the entire mouse brain, ...

New simulator and computational tools generate realistic ‘virtual tissues’ and map cell-to-cell ‘conversations’ from spatial transcriptomics data, potentially accelerating AI-driven discoveries in ...

Touch—the first sense to develop in the womb—is fundamental to our bodily experience and our everyday lives. Yet, as the least studied of the five senses, it remains somewhat mysterious at the ...

For the first time ever, an international team of researchers has created a complete cell atlas of a whole mammalian brain. This atlas serves as a map for the mouse brain, describing the type, ...

New research has mapped the cell types that specialise to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this process. The findings offer important insights into ...

Slowing the aging process has become a focal point for scientists looking to reduce the risk of age-related diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, and dementia. To develop effective therapies ...
