Researchers have developed two innovative tools to help us delve deeper into cell communication, offering spatial insight ...

Spatial transcriptomics is a technique that provides information about gene expression patterns within intact tissues. This technology employs various methodologies, including in situ sequencing (ISS) ...

Biological tissues are made up of different cell types arranged in specific patterns, which are essential to their proper functioning. Understanding these spatial arrangements is important when ...

This figure shows how the STAIG framework can successfully identify spatial domains by integrating image processing and contrastive learning to analyze spatial transcriptomics data effectively.

Spatial transcriptomics provides a unique perspective on the genes that cells express and where those cells are located. However, the rapid growth of the technology has come at the cost of ...

Biological systems are inherently three-dimensional—tissues form intricate layers, networks, and architectures where cells interact in ways that extend far beyond a flat plane. To capture the true ...

Conventional transcriptomic techniques have revealed much about gene expression at the population and single-cell level—but they overlook one crucial factor: spatial context. In musculoskeletal ...

Exploring biology in its native environment is perhaps the ideal scenario for generating better hypotheses about the cellular interactions that influence—and drive—healthy and diseased states, ...
