For decades, biomedical researchers pursued a reductionist strategy, investigating DNA, RNA, proteins and other cellular players in isolation. These studies have been critically important, providing vital parts lists to guide further exploration. Now, however, biology has entered a new age, in which scientists must adopt more contextual approaches to understand the fundamental units of life – cells.
But to truly understand how cells operate, we must explore their relationships in time and space. It’s not enough to study tumor cells on their own – we must examine the microenvironments that help them survive and spread. The same is true in the brain.
