Human body mysteries are being explored by cellular atlases
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have built a human neural organoid cell atlas of over 1.7 million cells using a combination of transcriptomic technologies. The atlas was powered by 36 single-cell RNA-sequencing data sets, and was created using a computational approach. Researchers inferred the origin of metaplastic cells by looking at the data sets and comparing them with stem cells.
The developers of AlphaFold have been named winners of the chemistry prize
Harvard University researchers have shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Johns Hopkins University researchers Richard Hinton and Brian Hopfield for their study of protein structures in proteins. Their work has allowed researchers to study the structure of protein scaffolds, which are building blocks of proteins. They predicted protein structures using a deep inelastic experiment on Mars’ Curiosity rover.
