A team of scientists has mapped the regions surrounding stem cells in planarians—small flatworms that are famous for being able to regrow whole bodies from small fragments—and discovered something ...

How do trees regrow roots after being cut? A new study sheds light on this question using cutting-edge spatial transcriptomics to track how poplar stems regenerate roots. Researchers mapped gene ...

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 ...

Conventional transcriptomic techniques have revealed much about gene expression at the population and single-cell level—but they overlook one crucial factor: spatial context. In musculoskeletal ...

How do plants regenerate roots from scratch after being wounded? In this study, scientists used spatial transcriptomics and time-series gene expression analysis to trace poplar root regeneration from ...
