Study Finds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Scientists have showcased a new way to see how cells organize themselves. This method brings new knowledge on the building blocks of life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The scientists collected a database that consisted of more than 200,000 images. When they looked into it, they were able to capture closer details that featured the rich variation in their shapes. This was even seen in the genetically identical cells that were grown under the same conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The findings were published in the journal Nature recently and this was the culmination of all the work the experts from the Allen Institute for Cell Science have been working on since the project was launched 8 years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This breakthrough in the area of cell biology is much like the discovery of \u201cdesign principles\u201d of the cell. This is considered big news because this could unlock the potential to discover new treatments for diseases related to cells malfunction. More importantly, the methods and findings can be generalized to just about any known cell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For the study<\/a>, what the researchers did was create a new method as they analyzed the human cells that produce a new type of information that goes above genomics: computationally derived, 3D spatial organization and morphology. This basically means that the cell\u2019s shape and the organization of its internal components are shown in three dimensions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The researchers also applied numbers and mathematical principles with the organization. Once they were able to do that, they discovered an endless amount of variation in the shapes of cells.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The researchers also made use of computational analyses where they developed a \u201cshape space\u201d that talks about the cell\u2019s external shape. This are volume, elongation, and the \u201cpear-ness\u201d or \u201cbean-ness\u201d of the shape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The new data gives the researchers ability to uncover the foundational principles of shape and internal organization. The secret to understanding a disease, what happens to it, and what could go wrong is to understand how cells organize their parts when they are healthy and what the range of variability is within \u201cnormal.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of the early organizing principles discovered are:<\/p>\n
