Single-cell biomedicine: roles of single-cell nuclear elements

Cell Biol Toxicol. 2020 Feb;36(1):1-3. doi: 10.1007/s10565-020-09515-7. Epub 2020 Feb 1.

Abstract

Single-cell biomedicine, a new merging discipline of cell biology and medicine to improve the life quality of patients, gains high priority in cell biology and toxicology. Single-cell nuclear elements are specially focused and headlined to understand regulatory mechanisms by which transcriptional factors, DNA elements, and genome organization interact with each other and contribute to the developmental evolution and dynamic formation of genotoxicity. Cell molecular phenomics, clonal genotypes, and structural metamorphoses during the cell cycle at single-cell level provide deep insights to understanding mechanism-based bridges between cell biology and toxicology, between cell sensitive and resistance, and between chronic diseases and cancer.

Keywords: 3D genome; DNA sequencing; Single cell; Single-cell biomedicine; Transcriptional profiles.
