At the Biology of Genomes virtual conference last week, several presentations focused on single-cell and spatial genomics data sets and how they could be complementary.
Using single-cell RNA sequencing, researchers identified cells in mouse and human prostate tissues that appear to help regrow the gland after prostate cancer treatment.
A single-cell "atlas" of pathologically normal breast tissue was presented by an MD Anderson Cancer Center representative at the AACR's online annual meeting this week.
Agilent, which co-led Mission Bio's 2018 $30 million Series B financing round, will comarket the Tapestri platform to cancer researchers in North America.
The researchers identified specific macrophage and conventional dendritic cell subsets as key mediators of cellular crosstalk in the tumor microenvironment.
A new paper outlines an upcoming effort to trace tumor development and trajectory in time and space using single-cell genetics and other genomic methods.
The researchers said a functional investigation of the virus' unknown transcripts and RNA modifications will elucidate its life cycle and pathogenicity.
The group will use IsoPlexis' single-cell proteomics platform to analyze immune cells from patients who have been diagnosed or recovered from COVID-19.
Researchers found that small-molecule inhibitors targeting oncogenic signal transduction or epigenetic regulation can alter specific 3D interactions in leukemia.
The team has begun analyzing additional analytes in HER2-positive breast cancer patients and will present preliminary results at AACR's annual meeting in May.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Russia's announcement of a coronavirus vaccine approval was met with concern as safety testing has not yet been completed.
Nature News reports that recent proposed changes to the US National Science Foundation have raised concerns about a shift away from the agency's focus on basic research.
