We recently published a review reflecting on challenges and opportunities in characterising cancer cell states and niches using spatial transcriptomics and integration with digital pathology, see full thread below. Thank you Molecular Oncology for the opportunity!

Dear @guigau.bsky.socialโ€ฌ and co-authors. Please see our very similar paper (not cited in yours as far as I can see) published 2018. Our software is called Croco!!! A citation would be nice!!!

Developed by my brilliant PhD student, Eloise Withnell, we use SpottedPy to explore EMT plasticity in breast primary tumours and uncover a hybrid, quasi-mesenchymal E/M state linked with immune evasion. #cancer #spatialtranscriptomics #EMT

Delighted to introduce our new spatial transcriptomics tool, SpottedPy, allowing the identification of tumour hotspots at different scales and the exploration of distances and overlap with tumour microenvironment niches: genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

As a member of @smbmathbiology.bsky.social (and podcast fan) I listen to all of these, best way to keep up with the #science and the #scientists in #MathBio other than those I usually obsess about #MathOnco #MathEvo
