Many biological functions and systems are influenced by how gene expression is spatially distributed, from subcellular through to tissue, organ, or at embryonic level. Our understanding of these ...

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) ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Single-cell RNA transcriptomics allows researchers to broadly profile the gene expression of individual cells in a particular tissue. This technique has allowed researchers to identify new subsets of ...

Nova-ST, a new spatial transcriptomics technique, has been introduced by researchers based at Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie (VIB), Katholieke Universiteit (KU) Leuven. According to the ...

The liver is remarkable for its ability to regenerate after injury, yet when this process fails, acute liver failure (ALF) carries devastating outcomes. Traditional research methods, reliant on bulk ...

Spatial transcriptomics offers a revolutionary approach to understanding the tumor microenvironment (TME) in solid tumors by preserving the spatial context of gene expression, which is crucial for ...
