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 ...

AGBT is also, increasingly, a showcase for instruments for spatial biology, a fast-growing field that involves pinpointing the location of RNA and protein molecules en masse. Tarbox calls the meeting ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
