Glioblastoma pseudoprogression and true progression reveal spatially variable transcriptional differences
Post-resection radiologic monitoring to identify areas of new or progressive enhancement concerning for cancer recurrence is critical during patients with glioblastoma follow-up. However, treatment-related pseudoprogression presents with similar imaging features…

Transformation of non-neuritic into neuritic plaques during AD progression drives cortical spread of tau pathology via regenerative failure
Extracellular amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and intracellular aggregates of tau protein in form of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) are pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The exact mechanism how these two protein…

Multi‐omics analyses reveal spatial heterogeneity in primary and metastatic oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Background: Biopsies obtained from primary oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) guide diagnosis and treatment. However, spatial intra‐tumoral heterogeneity (ITH) influences biopsy‐derived information and patient responsiveness to therapy. Here, we aimed…

Biologically derived epicardial patch induces macrophage mediated pathophysiologic repair in chronically infarcted swine hearts
There are nearly 65 million people with chronic heart failure (CHF) globally, with no treatment directed at the pathologic cause of the disease, the loss of functioning cardiomyocytes. We have…

Talniflumate abrogates mucin immune suppressive barrier improving efficacy of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel treatment in pancreatic cancer
Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal disease. This is due to its aggressive course, late diagnosis and its intrinsic drugs resistance. The complexity of the tumor, in terms…

Distinct spatial landscapes in clear cell renal cell carcinoma as revealed by whole transcriptome analysis
Background and Purpose: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common and aggressive form of renal cancer, and a paradigm of inter- and intratumor heterogeneity. We have performed…

Multi-omic analysis of human kidney tissue identified medulla-specific gene expression patterns
The kidney medulla is a specialized region with important homeostatic functions. It has been implicated in genetic and developmental disorders along with ischemic and drug-induced injuries. Despite its role in…

A Spatial Transcriptome Reveals Changes in Tumor and Tumor Microenvironment in Oral Cancer with Acquired Resistance to Immunotherapy
Although anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) antibody therapy improves the prognosis in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), some patients exhibit disease progression even after showing a good response…

Targeted spatial proteomic analysis of CD8+ T- and myeloid cells in tonsillar cancer
Background: Tonsillar cancer is caused by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), tobacco smoking, and alcohol abuse. Aspects of the patient’s immune response to this disease have arisen as prognostic factors and…

Identification of a targetable JAK-STAT enriched androgen receptor and androgen receptor splice variant positive triple-negative breast cancer subtype
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype with no targeted therapeutics. The luminal androgen receptor (LAR) subtype constitutes 15% of TNBC and is enriched for androgen receptor (AR) and…

Spatially distinct molecular patterns of gene expression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a heterogeneous disease that is pathologically characterized by areas of normal-appearing lung parenchyma, active fibrosis (transition zones including fibroblastic foci) and dense fibrosis. Defining…
