Group maps B-cell development

Furthermore, the team’s mapping process can be applied to any type of cell. They believe their method offers the possibility of studying normal development as well as the processes responsible for any kind of developmental disease.

“This current project is a landmark, both in the study of development and in single-cell research, and has completely changed the way I think about science,” Dr Pe’er said. “A fire has been lit, and these findings are just the tip of the iceberg of what is now possible.”
