Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

Doctors and scientists have long relied on microscopes to study human tissue and diagnose disease. But today's medical ...

Genetic studies have revealed many genes linked to both common and rare disease, but to understand how those genes bring about disease and use those insights to help develop therapies, scientists need ...

Teratomas are embryonal tumors that arise in the germ cells and contain different types of tissues, including bone, teeth, hair, and muscle. 1 Scientists have classified teratomas as a rare type of ...
