The structure and function of the mammalian gut vary by region, yet why inflammatory diseases manifest in specific regions and not others remains unclear. We use a TNF-overexpressing Crohn’s disease...

MILWRM also detected consensus tissue domains in ST data from differently oriented sections of mouse brain. It is an easy-to-use python package that can be run on several mIF images and ST samples together.
