Dissecting the natural history of IDH-mutant gliomas
Our work reveals that as IDH mutant gliomas progress, their cell states and key drivers change.
Behind the paper: A temporal cortex cell atlas highlights gene expression dynamics during human brain maturation
This blog post summarises the research leading to our recent publication in Nature Genetics. Our study contributes to the Human Cell Atlas consortium which aims to generate a comprehensive biological map of all cells within the human body.
Behind BASEPROD: Collecting a dataset for planetary exploration
The semi-desert of Bardenas Reales, Spain, offers a diverse array of terrain features ranging from rocky outcrops to sandy slopes. This is ideal for robotics researchers working on planetary exploration. We have recorded a dataset with nearly two kilometers of traverses, maps, and spectroscopy data.
Room calorimetry the new gold standard for RMR measurements
For years the metabolic cart was considered the gold standard for measurement of resting metabolic rate. However, due to their inaccuracy and anxiety of people being placed under the ventilated hood, they are fast moving aside for the new gold standard in town...whole room indirect calorimetry.
