The lab of HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow Shan Meltzer created a high-resolution spatial map of the mouse spinal cord, identifying where specific neuron subtypes are located and how they are organized. The ...

SCI often causes long-term motor and sensory deficits because the damaged tissue does not simply heal like many peripheral tissues.

The rapid development of spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies has greatly advanced the understanding of gene expression, tissue architecture, cellular composition, and disease mechanisms within ...

Spatial transcriptomics provides a unique perspective on the genes that cells express and where those cells are located. However, the rapid growth of the technology has come at the cost of ...

Illumina's spatial transcriptomics offering is slated to provide analyses of millions of cells per experiment across a 50 mm by 15 mm imaging area. (Pixabay) Illumina is raising the curtain on its ...

Biological systems are inherently three-dimensional—tissues form intricate layers, networks, and architectures where cells interact in ways that extend far beyond a flat plane. To capture the true ...

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...

Under a fluorescence microscope at Northwestern University, a sphere of human spinal cord tissue — about 3 mm across, roughly the diameter of a mouse spinal cord — erupted with green light. It had ...
