What's Luck Got to Do with It: Single Cells, Multiple Fates, and Biological Nondeterminism.

Molecular cell - 2 Jun 2016

Symmons Orsolya, Raj Arjun

Abstract excerpt

The field of single-cell biology has morphed from a philosophical digression at its inception, to a playground for quantitative biologists, to a major area of biomedical research. The last several years have witnessed an explosion of new technologies, allowing us to apply even more of the modern molecular biology toolkit to single cells. Conceptual progress, however, has been comparatively slow. Here, we provide...
