Spatial transcriptomics (and other -omics!) is a promising technology that offers more information about cellular systems. @KiviahoAntti gives us a taste of new discoveries with @NykterLab using spatial transcriptomic in prostate cancer tissue. tumorgenetics.blog/2024/12/1…

Our investigation into the prostate tumor microenvironment is now out in Nature Comms: nature.com/articles/s41467-0… We combined publicly available scRNA-seq data with in-house spatial transcriptomics samples to jointly anayze data from 120 patients. Here’s what we found 🧵 1/6

Could club cells be the key to understanding prostate cancer therapy resistance? We performed integrative analysis on single-cell & spatial transcriptomics data from more than 100 patients. Preprint out now: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
