Mayo Clinic researchers pioneer AI method to predict how cells are organized in disease microenvironments

By Susan Murphy Susan Murphy (@susanmurphy)

Cells in the human body, the building blocks of life, are arranged in a precise way. That’s necessary because pathways and spaces provide a means for cells to communicate, collaborate and function within the specific tissue or organ. Changes in cell arrangement can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, cell death and diseases, including cancer.  Scientists […]
