How do cells know what they should become as the body develops? Biological development depends crucially on spatial patterns: ...

Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have cracked open the secrets of plant stem cells, mapping key genetic regulators in maize and Arabidopsis. By using single-cell RNA sequencing, they ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has revolutionized modern biology, allowing scientists to study the expression of ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder that causes progressive memory loss and a decline in mental (i.e., cognitive) abilities. Statistics suggest that between 500,000 ...

While the process via which different types of neurons are produced, also known as neurogenesis, has been the focus of numerous neuroscience studies, its genetic and biological underpinnings in humans ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

Eugene “Gene” J. Richard, 78, a native of the St. Charles Community and long-time resident of Thibodaux, passed away on August 21, 2025. A visitation will be held in his honor on Thursday, August 28, ...

“We followed over 5,700 people for 34 years and found those who followed a baseline Mediterranean diet with little alcohol, red and processed meat but full of vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, ...

Single cell gene expression studies often rely on single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) alone. While scRNA-seq reveals which genes are turned on, it does not capture protein expression or changes to ...

Abstract: Although brain imaging has provided crucial insights into Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression, its limitations in capturing molecular changes have motivated the need to integrate and ...
