Now, in a perspective published in Nature Biotechnology, Di Carlo and colleagues from UCLA, USC and Caltech are calling on the scientific community to join the Billion Cell×Cell Project - an effort to understand the cellular symphony one duet at a time, by systematically mapping how individual pairs of cells influence one another.

Scientists built SpudCell, a synthetic cell that grows, divides, and passes DNA to offspring from non-living parts.

The number of cells being analyzed in single-cell projects continues to push the envelope. Last week, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) launched the Billion Cells Project—an effort to generate an unprecedented one billion cell dataset to fuel rapid ...

Landmark single-cell dataset of one billion cells will be used to train new AI models to advance researchers’ understanding of cellular behavior and gene function REDWOOD CITY, Calif. , Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the Chan Zuckerberg ...

Multicellular life depends on remarkable acts of cooperation. Every cell in the human body must sense what is happening around it, interpret signals from its neighbors and respond in ways that support the larger tissue.

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has spent the past decade maturing into a foundational technology. Over that time, the technology has both laid the foundation for building cell atlases and allowed exploration into how cells within the same tissue can ...
