]]><![CDATA[Celebrating a decade of discovery]]>Thu, 15 May 2025 00:55:13 GMThttps://www.allencell.org/news/celebrating-a-decade-of-discovery
For 10 years, the Allen Institute for Cell Science has been a leader in accelerating advancements in cell biology. By creating groundbreaking tools, resources, and open-access datasets and models, the Institute has empowered researchers and educators to explore and understand cells in new ways. Through its large-scale, interdisciplinary efforts, it has enabled the scientific community to tackle complex biological questions and make discoveries that wouldn’t be possible otherwise.

When: Dec 14 - 18, 2024
Where: San Diego, California

Visit exhibit hall booth #313 to meet researchers, educators, and recruiting staff from the Allen Institute for Cell Science and learn about our open science resources & career opportunities. Explore our datasets, visualization tools, software, and human iPS cell lines available on the Allen Cell Explorer.
]]><![CDATA[New disease cell line collections launched]]>Tue, 04 Jun 2024 07:00:00 GMThttps://www.allencell.org/news/may-14th-2025
We just released 8 disease cell line collections, each containing multiple isogenic control and mutation-carrying clones:
  • 6 cardiomyopathy disease collections, each with a different point mutation in the MYH7 gene
  • 1 skeletal myopathy disease collection with point mutation in the MYH3 gene
  • 1 laminopathy disease collection has a mutation in the LMNA/C gene associated with progeria
These cell lines will be valuable tools to further our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms which underly these disease phenotypes and enable relevant pharmacological discoveries to treat them. This monumental one-time release of the 8 disease cell line collections with a total of 37 clones is comparable in magnitude to the 58 cell lines in the Allen Cell Catalog, which were released over the last 8 years.
]]><![CDATA[New perspective published in Cell]]>Thu, 23 May 2024 07:00:00 GMThttps://www.allencell.org/news/new-perspective-published-in-cellEstablishing a conceptual framework for holistic cell states and state transitions Picture
"Cell states were traditionally defined by how they looked, where they were located, and what functions they performed. In this post-genomic era, the field is largely focused on a molecular view of cell state. Moving forward, we anticipate that the observables used to define cell states will evolve again as single-cell imaging and analytics are advancing at a breakneck pace via the collection of large-scale, systematic cell image datasets and the application of quantitative image-based data science methods. This is, therefore, a key moment in the arc of cell biological research to develop approaches that integrate the spatiotemporal observables of the physical structure and organization of the cell with molecular observables toward the concept of a holistic cell state. In this perspective, we propose a conceptual framework for holistic cell states and state transitions that is data-driven, practical, and useful to enable integrative analyses and modeling across many data types."
]]><![CDATA[Register for TEMTIA 11]]>Tue, 02 Apr 2024 07:00:00 GMThttps://www.allencell.org/news/register-for-temtia-11We are excited to host the 11th EMT International Association  (TEMTIA 11) meeting at the Allen Institute in Seattle, Washington, USA, on November 12-15, 2024.
Picture
The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cell state change during which cells transition from stationary to migratory behavior. Associated with normal development but also a characteristic of many cancers, EMT includes complex changes across multiple cell characteristics and is consistently and universally difficult to define. At this year’s TEMTIA, we will leverage the diversity of the field, convening experts across contexts, perspectives, and scales of study to address this challenge. Scientific sessions will be organized with common themes such as: data integration, microscopy in EMT, modeling of state changes, and more.
​​
To recognize the seminal contributions of Dr. Elizabeth Hay to the EMT field, TEMTIA will present the Betty Hay award of AU$1000.00 to a young female scientist. To apply for the fellowship or for more information, visit the Event Details page.

​Talk/poster abstract submission deadline: May 31, 2024
