Droplet Hi-C is a new method that uses tiny droplets to analyze the structure of DNA in individual cells. 🧬 MCC's Dr. Rafael Bejar, Dr. Bing Ren, and @FurnariLab discuss how this method allows researchers to study gene regulation in brain cells & detect genetic changes in

Incredible technology and work by @LeiChangpku @Xieeee4. Honored to have been able to contribute to its application to cancer—it was such an incredible team to work on, and we got to study my favorite topic: the interplay between ecDNA and cell identity.
Chromatin interactions profiles are useful, but how can we deconvolute cell-type info from the complex tissues? 🎯 Led by @LeiChangpku , we just released Droplet Hi-C: a faster, cheaper, and high-throughput single-cell Hi-C method using microfluidics:

Thank you @GenesDev for sharing our comprehensive review of the role of the glioma microenvironment 🧠in shaping tumor heterogeneity, progression, and therapeutic responses with the broader research community! Awesome collaboration with rockstars @HambardzumyanL1 @NeuroOncDoc 🤩
Read et al. discuss the heterogeneity in the glioblastoma tumor microenvironment (TME) that builds diverse tumor-supporting niches, and offers TME-targeting strategies in brain cancer therapy. @RRead_Lab @HambardzumyanL1 @NeuroOncDoc Read the Review: ➡️ https://t.co/LkjGP8vqQB
