An international research team has developed a new method for determining cell types in a tissue sample. The scientists determined the link between the activity of genes in the same cell type and made a model capable of "recognizing" different cell types in mixed samples based on this relation. This approach works for all tissues, so it can be used to understand the proportions of which cell types are associated with the survival of patients with different types of cancer, for example. The results are published in Nature Communications.
