New simulator and computational tools generate realistic ‘virtual tissues’ and map cell-to-cell ‘conversations’ from spatial transcriptomics data, potentially accelerating AI-driven discoveries in ...

Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life, and many communication mechanisms are well studied. However, over the past few years, scientists have found increasing ...

Recent advances in single-cell sequencing technologies offer an opportunity to explore cell–cell communication in tissues systematically and with reduced bias. A key challenge is integrating known ...

Imagine a world in which engineered cells, plants, tissues and nonliving yet biologically active entities are integrated into our everyday lives and have critical roles in solving grand challenges in ...
