New Microscopy Technology to Analyze Brain Cancer Tissue

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technology called decrowding expansion pathology (dexpath) which is capable of providing detailed images of brain cancer tissue. The potential technology can be used for gaining insights into brain cancer development as well as other aggressive neurological diseases.

Brain Cell Atlas Ushers in New Era in Brain Science

Researchers at the Salk Institute, collaborating globally, have analyzed over half a million brain cells to compile a detailed atlas of the human brain's cell types. This groundbreaking study applies techniques previously used in mice to human brains, ushering in a new age of understanding in brain development, aging, and disease
