A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

Dissociating tissues into single cells is a core laboratory technique and vital for widely used applications such as next-generation sequencing or flow cytometry. Scientists who employ tissue ...

The human body and its organs are composed of a wide variety of cell types. Although all cells contain the same genes, they function very differently—partly because protein interactions differ between ...
