Dr. Xuyu Qian in his current laboratory, standing beside a collection of external hard drives containing raw spatial transcriptomics data from his groundbreaking human brain development research. The ...

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 ...

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 maternal microbiome and immune system have both independent and synergistic effects on fetal brain health—changes in the ...

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 ...
