Generation of Super-resolution Images from Barcode-based Spatial Transcriptomics Using Deep Image Prior
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) has revolutionized the field of biology by providing a powerful tool for analyzing gene expression in situ. However, current ST methods, particularly barcode-based methods

Spatial transcriptomics unveils landscape of resistance to concurrent chemo-radiotherapy in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: the role of SPP1+ macrophages
Hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a highly aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis, particularly in advanced stages where concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is used for treatment. Howev

Analysis of Unmapped RNA-seq Data from Cancer Spatial Transcriptome to Decipher Cancer Microbiome
Recent research increasingly emphasizes the importance of the microbiome in the development and progression of cancer. Thus, exploring the microbiome modulation in tumor microenvironment and understan

Spatial Transcriptomics Reveals Spatially Diverse Cancer-Associated Fibroblast in Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma Linked to Tumor Progression
While cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are crucial in influencing tumor growth and immune responses in lung cancer, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of their spatial organization associ

CELLama: Foundation Model for Single Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics by Cell Embedding Leveraging Language Model Abilities
Large-scale single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics (ST) have transformed biomedical research into a data-driven field, enabling the creation of comprehensive data atlases.

SpatialSPM: Statistical parametric mapping for the comparison of gene expression pattern images in multiple spatial transcriptomic datasets
Spatial transcriptomic (ST) techniques help us understand the gene expression levels in specific parts of tissues and organs, providing insights into their biological functions. Even though ST dataset

A Spatial Transcriptomics based Label-Free Method for Assessment of Human Stem Cell Distribution and Effects in a Mouse Model of Lung Fibrosis
