Earlier today, researchers from China published amazing new advancements in cellular communication. In an article titled " Advancing spatial cellular communication inference with ligand diffusion and transport model," they introduced a smarter and more efficient way to determine which cells are communicating with each other and how. They accomplished this by using gene data and spatial location rather than estimation. In simple terms, Cells "talk" by sending chemical signal

There has been a new advancement in bioinformatics that is a agentic AI that can process information and help scientists understand it. In late 2025, a study modeled AI to help scientists analyze data from Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). This helps reveal gene expression, aka which genes are active in any given cell. Usually, analyzing NGS data is time-consuming and complex because it requires advanced programming and biological expertise. The AI analyzed the data, drew con

I recently watched an interesting TED Talk by Laurence Liang, where he explores a future in which anyone (not just elite labs) can take...

One of the biggest challenges in cancer research is figuring out how cells communicate with each other and adjust as tumors grow. A new...
