Single-cell technologies have positioned themselves at the forefront of biomedical research. These platforms allow researchers to bypass the uncertainties of bulk data and instead interrogate biological systems at a level of detail that was previously unreachable. by Ruairi J MacKenzie
The recent Human Cell Atlas (HCA) 2022 General Meeting, hosted in Vienna, Austria, provided a great opportunity for me to catch up on progress towards the HCA’s goal of mapping every cell type in the human body. I also got the chance to hear presentations that either highlighted new insights
Metabolomics—often referred to as the youngest of the omics—provides key insight into phenotype. However, bulk metabolomics requires the homogenization of the sample and is thus unable to discern metabolic differences at a cellular level.
