Differences make a difference: from one cell to a world of individuality

In our last article, we explored how low-level exposure to antibiotics in the environment is affecting the emergence of resistance genes in Salmonella. Here, we explore how single-cell genomics can elevate our understanding of how AMR arises - and equip us with the knowledge to tackle this existential threat.

The story of ageing, told by a single blood cell

Dr Laura Mincarelli works at the cutting edge of single-cell technology, isolating individual blood stem and progenitor cells to understand how we age. What she discovers could one day help us to prevent ageing. In the short term, she is helping to transform our understanding of biology - one cell at a time.
