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 ...

The rapid development of spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies has greatly advanced the understanding of gene expression, tissue architecture, cellular composition, and disease mechanisms within ...

A novel spatial transcriptomics atlas developed by Northwestern Medicine scientists may improve the understanding of niche cellular interactions in the gastrointestinal tract that promote the ...

Spatial biology is a rapidly advancing discipline that examines biological molecules (such as DNA, RNA, and proteins) within their native locations in tissues. This approach offers critical insight ...

Knowing the location of a gene within intact tissue or a single cell allows scientists to unlock unknown cellular functions. This information is often lost in most genetic sequencing techniques, but ...
