Vanderbilt investigators are defining the genetic programs that control the development of pancreatic beta cells — studies that could inform new cellular or regenerative therapies for diabetes.
A greater understanding of the mechanisms and cell types involved in returning adipose (fatty) tissue to the lean state may lead to more effective treatments for obesity.
A compound that activates a virus-sensing receptor has potent therapeutic effects in a mouse model of breast cancer.
New methods have revealed details of vesicle trafficking in cells and are applicable to any protein complexes, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of cell dynamics.
How do you build a brain? What “rules” govern where neurons end up, how they connect to each other, and which functions they perform?
Vanderbilt researchers have developed a new tool for quantifying data from single-cell studies.
