UCLA scientists build ‘cell villages’ to map the genetics of brain cell fitness
UCLA Newsroom | Linda Wang
How readily a cell divides and how well it survives is fundamental to life, shaping everything from organ size to the body’s ability to withstand disease.
That combination, known as cell fitness, isn’t the same for everyone. Differences in genetics and environment can tip the scales toward developmental disorders, tissue degeneration and cancer. Pinning down those differences could help explain why some people are more vulnerable than others to a given disease or toxic exposure — and eventually guide more personalized treatment and prevention.
