Spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies reveal the spatial organization of gene expression in tissues, providing critical insights into development, neurobiology, and cancer. However, the high cost ...

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 ...

Since its inception, spatial biology has proven a revolutionary frontier in life science research. However, there is still plenty of room for growth in the systems we use to conduct spatial biology ...

Spatial biology offers researchers a comprehensive view and understanding of complex tissues, capturing details about their organization and structure that inform how they function. This ability to ...

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 ...

A novel spatial transcriptomics atlas developed by Northwestern Medicine scientists may improve the understanding of niche ...

Water scarcity is projected to intensify across many major agricultural regions in the coming decades. According to the World Resources Institute, by 2040 more than one third of global cropland is ...

The biological connection between a pregnant woman and her developing baby—the human maternal–fetal interface—is a specialized, transient organ composed of uterine cells from the mother and fetal ...
