Not the official Science Advances cover of this month, but you can still find it in the current issue! Check our latest paper where we used 3D-CODA to design assembloids that mimic the complexity of human fallopian tubes. Paper: https://t.co/e3jTJ55iQp

🤩 Glad to be part of this AI-driven spatial biology revolution at @AtlasXomics with @LatchBio and @10xGenomics, @vizgen_inc @TakaraBioUSA . In particular, spatial epigenomics & multi-omics reveals the mechanistic insights and empower therapeutic development 🤩
Agents are finally starting to work in biology. We’ve partnered with Anthropic and major biotech vendors - Vizgen, AtlasXOmics, Takara, 10x Genomics - to build a tool that allows scientists to steer their own analysis with natural language. Raw spatial data to publication

We use CODA to map human endometrial tissue in 3D and at single-cell resolution, a map that then serves as a blueprint to design a multi-compartment multicellular assembloid of the endometrium. Read about our approach to organoids/assembloids here: https://t.co/ABJrYxhtlA

We have developed a new workflow to map whole human organs in 3D & at single-cell resolution Colleague Prof. Luciane Kagohara mapped out the transcriptomic profile + aneuploidy of ovarian precancerous lesions (STIC) in healthy fallopian tube. More here: https://t.co/UoTgbRKGT0

We have developed a new workflow to map in 3D at single-cell resolution whole human organs. Prof. Rong Fan (Yale) mapped out immune cell populations in the vicinity of ovarian precancerous lesions in healthy women and found no enrichment. More here: https://t.co/UoTgbRKGT0

Multimodal SRS imaging reveals metabolic remodeling in ovarian precancerous lesions. In collaboration with Prof. Lingyan Shi (UCSD), we integrated spatial metabolomics into a new 3D tissue mapping workflow at single-cell resolution More here: https://t.co/UoTgbRKGT0

This is what the human fallopian tube looks like as one travels through its different sections. We have developed a new 3D single-cell tissue mapping workflow to automatically/accurately detect ovarian cancer precancerous lesions (STICs). More here: https://t.co/UoTgbRKGT0

Our new workflow maps whole human fallopian tubes at single-cell resolution. In healthy FTs, we detected (many) STIC precancerous lesions. We can also simulate virtual sectioning as done in the clinic and show how current protocols undersample FTs. Here: https://t.co/UoTgbRK93s

Using a new workflow, we map ciliated (green) and secretory cells (pink) that line the epithelium of whole human fallopian tube. With age (menopause), the number of ciliated cells decreases and the number of secretory cells increases. More here: https://t.co/UoTgbRKGT0

Amazing!!
We have developed a new workflow to map whole human organs at single-cell resolution, while integrating spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. We applied this workflow to map precancerous lesions of the fallopian tubes. More here: https://t.co/UoTgbRK93s

Startling: all 5 "normal" fallopian tubes in this whole-organ study had tiny precancerous lesions - total 99 lesions(!). Mostly dormant, but 2/5 had proliferative lesions. CH was just the start. Whole-organ profiling will probably reveal many more surprises in other tissues ...

This work was done by an amazing team of PhD students, undergraduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and wonderful colleagues at Hopkins, Yale (Rong Fan and team), UCSD (Lingyan Shi and Yajuan Li), the Max Planck Institute (David Zwicker), and U. Florida (Mark Atkinson and team).
