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 ...

A new technique called sci-Space, combined with data from other technologies, could lead to four-dimensional atlases of gene expression across diverse cells during embryonic development of mammals.

To study biological processes, scientists often take snapshots of the molecules in cells, such as proteins and nucleotides, at specific points in time. In spatial biology, they can leverage molecular ...

Maxim Lavrentovich receives funding from the National Science Foundation. The reason patterns often appear in nature is simple: The same basic physical or chemical processes occur in many patterned ...

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 ...

Figure 1 shows the distribution of deaths for 11 hazard categories as a percent of total hazard deaths from 1970 - 2004. Heat/drought ranks highest among these hazard categories causing 19.6% of total ...

Jasmine Plummer shares the spatial omics techniques she has developed to investigate the cellular processes underlying ...
