05/29/2023: Collaborative publishing in Nature Medicine.
Congratulations on our groundbreaking collaborative publication in Nature Medicine: “Pan-cancer T cell atlas reveals crucial cellular stress response state associated with immunotherapy resistance.” In this remarkable study, we have successfully identified a unique stress response state, TSTR, characterized by heat shock gene expression. TSTR cells are detectable in situ in the tumor microenvironment across various […]
05/09/2023: New Cell Systems paper on machine learning tool to annotate tumor microenvironment at super-resolution.
Glad to share our latest publication in Cell Systems. We developed a method named TESLA, which is a spatially-resolved transcriptomics data analysis tool for integrates gene expression and histology to annotate tumor microenvironment at super-resolution.
