Spatially resolved transcriptomic profiling of degraded and challenging fresh frozen samples
Spatial transcriptomics relies on RNA quality, which is variable and dependent on sample handling, storage, and/or intrinsic factors. Here, authors present a genome-wide spatial gene expression profiling method called RNA Rescue Spatial Transcriptomics ...

Research progress of spatial transcriptomics and its applications in bone research
The structural and functional heterogeneity of cells in bone tissue is closely related to their spatial location. Spatial transcriptomics can simultaneously obtain location information and transcriptome changes of spatial units within tissues.

Improved annotation of 3' untranslated regions and complex loci by combination of strand-specific direct RNA sequencing, RNA-seq and ESTs [PDF]
The reference annotations made for a genome sequence provide the framework for all subsequent analyses of the genome. Correct annotation is particularly important when interpreting the results of RNA-seq experiments where short sequence reads are mapped ...

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Correlation of the differential expression of PIK3R1 and its spliced variant, p55α, in pan‐cancer
PIK3R1 undergoes alternative splicing to generate the isoforms, p85α and p55α. By combining large patient datasets with laboratory experiments, we show that PIK3R1 spliced variants shape cancer behavior. While tumors lose the protective p85α isoform, p55α is overexpressed, changes linked to poorer survival and more pronounced in African American ...

Nova-ST: Nano-patterned ultra-dense platform for spatial transcriptomics
Summary: Spatial transcriptomics workflows using barcoded capture arrays are commonly used for resolving gene expression in tissues. However, existing techniques are either limited by capture array density or are cost prohibitive for large-scale atlasing.
