Joseph Powell will discuss how heterogeneous subpopulations of HPV+ head and neck cancer cells drive unique disease states, cell-cell interactions, and microenvironment dynamics, and have implications for cancer behavior, metastasis, and response to treatment.   

Mice that experienced heart attacks underwent a large-scale shift in their immune systems that allowed cancer to flourish, perhaps explaining the observation in patients.

A single-cell map of C. elegans’s transcriptome during development finds cell lineages that start out genetically different and end up as cells of similar function and genetic profile.

Researchers track which genes are active in the polyp during successive cell states.

A mollusk grows magnetic teeth so tough they can grind down rocks.  

Researchers identify a new species of Hemimastigophora protist, and suggest the group should be promoted from a phylum to a supra-kingdom.

Rosehip neurons are not found in rodents. Perhaps they offer clues about what separates our brains from those of other animals.

A study suggests that there is more to the eukaryotic genome than was previously suspected.

From single-cell analysis to whole-genome sequencing, this year's best new products shine on many levels.
