Cell-by-cell DNA science is ‘Breakthrough of 2018’ 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseThe US journal Science on Thursday coined as “Breakthrough of the Year” for 2018 new technologies that reveal how DNA cues individual cells to grow through time. Experts say these methods will transform science over the coming decades, allowing an ever clearer picture of the processes behind aging, healing, and disease. A group of 53 institutions and 60 companies across Europe, called the LifeTime consortium, is studying cell by cell how tissues develop cancer, diabetes, and other diseases. “The single-cell revolution is just starting,” said the report in Science, which is published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
