Single-cell map of burn wound using larval zebrafish model is published in Journal of Immunology!
Our work, led by Yiran and Parth, employed integrated bioinformatics analyses of 6,495 neutrophils and 12,623 macrophages from scRNA-Seq of larval zebrafishes in both no-wound and burn conditions across 3 timepoints and mapped zebrafish neutrophil …
Josh’s paper, characterizing immune microenvironment of fallopian tubes and their impacts to ovarian cancer, is published.
We employed a data science approach to reanalyze 88 scRNA-Seq datasets across 58 donors, including FTs, HGSC tumors, and relevant adjacent and normal tissues. Integrated bioinformatics analysis on the comprehensive datasets led to the following …
