🔬 Uncovering New Insights into Pancreatic Cancer Progression 🔬 A research team at the The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine investigated how a cellular transition state—acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM)—drives pancreatic cancer by retaining "epigenetic memory" in cells, even in the absence of cancer-promoting mutations. They discovered persistent DNA methylation changes in key signaling pathways, linking this memory to increased cell plasticity, a major driver of cancer progression. Using Vizgen's #MERSCOPE spatial transcriptomics platform powered by #MERFISH technology, the team applied a 500-gene custom panel to reveal co-expression of cell type signatures in cells undergoing ADM. 🔗https://hubs.ly/Q02WjP6w0 #SpatialGenomics #SingleCell #Multiomics #SpatialBiology

🦇It's Halloween, and a key fear in #SpatialBiology is losing biological insights by going high-plex with technologies that don’t address optical crowding. With just 1-2 counts seen for most genes in these technologies, researchers worry about missing important discoveries. Fear not! Vizgen's custom 1,000-plex gene panel strikes the perfect balance, expanding gene targeting while maintaining specificity and sensitivity. At Vizgen we’re all about a custom-forward approach, giving you the tools to chart your own course of discovery. 🔗 Request a Quote: https://hubs.ly/Q02W4SBm0 #SpatialGenomics #MERFISH #1000Plex #ScientificDiscovery #CustomPanels #FridayThe13th

✨ Spatial Spotlight Series! ✨ In this month’s edition of our #SpatialSpotlight series, we’re featuring a breathtaking data image generated using Vizgen's state-of-the-art #MERSCOPE Platform. 🔬 Featured Image: Two healthy lung airways with a blood vessel at the center, surrounded by alveoli. Over 7 million detected transcripts are color-coded by the type of cell lineage they mark, providing incredible insight into lung biology! 🟣 Epithelial 🟡 Endothelial 🔵 Mesenchymal 💗 Lymphoid 🔴 Myeloid This stunning view allows us to observe the intricate cellular makeup of the lungs in vibrant detail. 📸 Image credit: Arianna Williams, TGen - Part of City of Hope Stay tuned for more visual explorations of the spatial landscape of biology in upcoming editions! #MERSCOPE #SpatialGenomics #LungBiology #SpatialSpotlight

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘂 Spatial transcriptomics is powerful tool enabling scientists to map the location of gene activity in tissue samples. In 2023 the Earlham Institute was the first site in the UK to obtain the Vizgen MERSCOPE platform, and has since gone on to develop methods for difficult sample types. Ashleigh Lister is a Senior Research Assistant in the Macaulay group. She has pioneered the development of these techniques for plant tissues. "Historically, sequencing #singlecells requires their original tissue to be dissociated allowing us to isolate them individually. Although we can learn a lot from this type of sequencing, this dissociation and mixing up can have many disadvantages. A big one is that it confuses the overall picture, or story, of what is happening in that tissue, and therefore that organism. "The technique of spatial transcriptomics means the cells are left in situ, undisturbed in their natural positions, alongside their neighbours." In a new technical article, Ashleigh shares her first-hand experience of the workflow, some top tips, and methods for using this technology to view single plant cells in situ. https://okt.to/OcbuiK Thanks go to BBSRC for providing funding for the platform and supporting the research Ashleigh contributes to.

📢Join Vizgen, recently merged with Ultivue, at Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 2024 to explore new breakthroughs in spatial biology for immunotherapy. We’re looking forward to presenting new research findings and a case study with Nimbus Therapeutics demonstrating how Nimbus utilizes ultrasensitive InSituPlex® assays and the STARVUE™ AI-driven image analysis platform to validate their clinical prognosis and accelerate drug development. ➡ See new data from Nimbus’ Phase 1/2 clinical trial of an HPK1 inhibitor for treatment of advanced solid tumors. ➡ Learn how InSituPlex® reduces assay development times, streamlining the path from validation to results. ➡ Explore high-precision biomarker detection in action, enabling robust and actionable insights through deep-learning models. 🗓 Symposium Presentation: November 9 at 12:30 pm.  “Evaluating Treatment Efficacy and Tumor Immune Contexture with InSituPlex® and STARVUE™ Technologies” Presenters:  Scott Daigle, Sr Director of Translational Medicine, Nimbus Therapeutics Angela Vasaturo, Director of Scientific Affairs, Vizgen Vizgen scientists will also present three posters demonstrating the capabilities of the company’s portfolio of leading spatial biology solutions.
