Combining spatial transcriptomics and AI to enhance brain tumour diagnosis

Nature Reviews Cancer, Published online: 04 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41568-025-00851-6In this Tools of the Trade article, Yahaya A. Yabo describes the development of neuropathology spatial transcriptomic analysis (NePSTA), an artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool to identify and map unique spatial patterns within tissues.

#microglia and other tissue #macrophages are highly plastic. This makes them look differently depending on their respective context. Granular methods like #single-cell sequencing are merely snapshots that may simplify the complexity found in the tissue. In our perspective in @natneuro.nature.com

How does tumour heterogeneity arise? How can we predict cancer cell plasticity? In 2 new studies, we trace #glioblastoma heterogeneity to a spatial cancer cell trajectory w. multimodal cell atlassing bit.ly/4mkrWgs & predict plasticity w. snRNA/ATAC+deep learning bit.ly/3FbI6Ic 🧵
