The heterogeneity of cancer cells and the underlying drivers play a crucial role in understanding tumorigenesis, malignant progression, and in devising effective cancer therapies. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can accurately capture the transcriptional information at the single-cell level, allowing for a deeper understanding of tumor heterogeneity.However, scRNA-seq has unique logistical and technical challenges in the processing of clinical tumor samples, especially archival materials ...

Nitrogen-based fertilizers have hugely increased agricultural output, but rain washes them into rivers and oceans with dire consequences. Zhejiang University researchers are searching for a middle ground.Every summer, vast quantities of algae and zooplankton flourish in coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. These algal blooms gobble up oxygen, leaving a ‘dead zone’ in the ocean that covers around 10,000 square kilometres, and is largely devoid of life. The oxygen-zapping algae and zooplankton ...
