In this piece, I highlight one particular talk that caught my interest — given by Elana Fertig, Dean E. Albert Reece Endowed Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland. Fertig’s talk centered ...

Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent and life-threatening forms of cancer, impacting millions worldwide. This malignancy's heterogeneity and complexity have long posed significant ...

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 ...

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.

The collaborations will provide Illumina's customers with workflows for genomic disease characterization and spatial mapping.

Applying single-cell RNA sequencing has led researchers to be able to profile the entire transcriptome of cells. However, these transcriptomes prove difficult to link back to their original location ...

Illumina is raising the curtain on its upcoming entry into spatial transcriptomics, with tech designed to help researchers explore cellular behavior mapped across complex tissues. The announcement ...

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 ...

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) emerges as a pivotal technique for cataloging gene expression across tissue sections while retaining crucial locational data. Traditional methodologies, encompassing bulk ...

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 ...
