A human body comprises 10 to 100 billion cells (= 10 to 100 x 1000.000.000.000 cells). As most of our organ functions are executed by the concerted action of those individual cells in a spatially organised context, it is paramount to research individual cells in their native spatial context. This is not only important to understand normal organ development and function, but also to investigate how (subpopulations of) cells are perturbed in ...
