Research identifies 10 types of dopamine-making neurons, one of which seems to die off during the disease.

Single-cell RNA sequencing helps to catalog the dozens of cell types present in a stony coral, including its elusive immune cells.

A pair of mouse studies describes neuronal subpopulations not identified before and some of their functions.

Rosehip neurons are not found in rodents. Perhaps they offer clues about what separates our brains from those of other animals.

Researchers discover that a layer of human breast tissue is not one but two distinct cell types.  

Single-cell analyses from mouse samples detail the changes in cell distribution during infections.

Advances in single-cell technologies have revealed vast differences between cells once thought to be in the same category, calling into question how we define cell type in the first place.

Using single-cell RNA sequencing, scientists characterize new populations of dendritic cells and monocytes.

A new algorithm opens doors for detecting rare cell types in mRNA sequencing.
