In dryland ecosystems, increased environmental stress often triggers a change from a uniform vegetation cover to patchy ...

The reason why so many tree species can coexist in species-rich forests has long been a subject of debate in ecology. This question is key to understanding the mechanisms governing the dynamics and ...

Tumors contain many different types of cells organized in complex spatial patterns that can influence how the disease progresses. Because of this, it is hard to predict how a tumor will develop and ...

Fei Chen and Chenlei Hu at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have developed a new imaging-free spatial transcriptomics technology that tracks the diffusion of DNA barcodes between beads in an ...

Spatial transcriptomics is a cutting-edge technique that characterizes gene expression within sections of tissue, such as heart, skin or liver tissue. These snapshots provide insights into how spatial ...

Spatial biology is the study of the spatial organization of biological systems. It has immense clinical applications in disease diagnosis and treatment. By analyzing the spatial arrangement of cells ...

In dryland ecosystems, increased environmental stress often triggers a change from a uniform vegetation cover to patchy vegetation patterns. Some theoretical studies suggest that this spatial ...
