Tissue and cell-type identity lie at the core of human physiology and disease. Understanding the genetic underpinnings of complex tissues and individual cell lineages is crucial for developing ...

Eosinophils, as cells of the innate immune system and sources of diverse cytokines, function in diverse tissue sites, some previously unappreciated, in health and disease. At least in human ...

After identifying interlocking symmetries in mammalian cells, scientists can describe some tissues as liquid crystals — an observation that lays the groundwork for a fluid-dynamic theory of how ...
