Scientific American: First Atlas of Every Mouse Brain Cell Could Improve Neuro Disease Treatments
Neuroscientists have unveiled their most comprehensive and detailed map of cell types across the entire mouse brain, delivering the latest results of a six-year-long scientific effort in which Seattle’s Allen Institute has played a leading role.
Quanta Magazine: New Cell Atlases Reveal Untold Variety in the Brain and Beyond
(Photo credit: Peter Greenwood for Quanta Magazine.) Recent efforts to map every cell in the human body have researchers floored by unfathomable diversity, with many thousands of subtly different types of cells in the human brain alone.
Seattle Times: Research that brings AI into human cells will soon expand in Seattle
The Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology, set to open in January, is a result of collaboration between the Allen Institute, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the University of Washington that aims to build new technologies to record the history of our bodies’ cells.
Yahoo News: Allen Frontiers Group awards $10M to set up research center for neuroimmunology
The neuroimmunology research center will be led by Brian Kim of Mount Sinai and David Artis of Weill Cornell Medicine. They’ll bring together a multidisciplinary team to trace interactions between the nervous system and the immune system that occur at sites distant from the brain.
