Hundreds of millions of years ago, single cells joined forces to become multicellular organisms. At the foundation of this multicellular world is the cell surface: the plasma membrane surrounding each ...

A video of microscopic, bowl-shaped hydrogel containers called nanovials that can capture individual cells — or defined pairs of interacting cells — in self-contained microenvironments. The platform ...

Using sophisticated RNA sequencing technology, biomedical researchers can measure the activity of our genes across millions of single cells, creating detailed maps of tissues, organs, and diseases.
