In the past decade, single-cell technologies have proliferated and improved from their
technically challenging beginnings to become common laboratory methods capable of …

Cell types are the basic functional units of an organism. Cell types exhibit diverse
phenotypic properties at multiple levels, making them challenging to define, categorize, and …

The mammalian brain consists of millions to billions of cells that are organized into many cell
types with specific spatial distribution patterns and structural and functional properties …

Spatial omics data are clustered to define both cell types and tissue domains. We present
Building Aggregates with a Neighborhood Kernel and Spatial Yardstick (BANKSY), an …

In mammalian brains, millions to billions of cells form complex interaction networks to enable
a wide range of functions. The enormous diversity and intricate organization of cells have …

Multimodal astrocyte–neuron communications govern brain circuitry assembly and function.
For example, through rapid glutamate release, astrocytes can control excitability, plasticity …

The function of the mammalian brain relies upon the specification and spatial positioning of
diversely specialized cell types. Yet, the molecular identities of the cell types and their …

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) protects the central nervous system from infections or harmful
substances; its impairment can lead to or exacerbate various diseases of the central nervous …
