NanoString and Illumina have collaborated to release two new demo datasets of GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP) data on the Illumina BaseSpace Sequence Hub (BSSH) cloud.  Spatial proteogenomics enables new…

The Human Protein Atlas is one of the world’s largest biological databases, containing spatial expression profiles for all known proteins expressed in human organs and tissues. It contains a vast…

Tissue and cell samples constitute the main source of samples for protein or RNA expression analysis in biology and help us understand how cells interact, organize themselves, and drive various…

A pioneer in the field of spatial biology, NanoString Technologies has developed automated workflow platforms enabling researchers to visualize and quantify gene and protein expression in tissue sections down to…

Cells, the building blocks of all life, are built from biological molecules such as proteins and RNA. Biological molecules perform all the functions of living cells, from DNA replication to…

Modern biology research is deeply interested in discovering the fundamental mechanics that operate within an organism of interest. Since the fundamental unit of all living organisms is the cell, it…

Remarkable advances in spatial multiomics have been made in the last several years, with companies like NanoString introducing automated instruments capable of imaging, quantifying, and localizing RNA and protein expression…

One of the interesting hallmarks of celebrating the start of a new year is the consumption of special foods. For example, in the American South Hoppin’ John, or black-eyed peas,…

What is spatial biology? Spatial biology is the study of molecules in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional context. Using spatial biology techniques, the users can visualize molecules in their unique contexts…

What is Spatial Biology? The rapidly evolving field of spatial biology investigates the spatial location and organization of gene expression in situ within each cell and structure of a given tissue sample.…

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting people who have suffered repeated concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). CTE was first described in 1928 by Dr. Harrison…

Many years ago, I was playing hide and seek with my cousins at my grandparent’s house. I was “it” and couldn’t seem to find one of my cousins anywhere. After…
