: Uveal melanomas (UMs) are rare but often deadly malignancies that urgently require viable treatment options. UMs often exhibit tumour heterogeneity, with macroscopic and microscopic differences in morphology between different regions of the same tumour. However, to date, the clinical significance of this and how it may help guide personalised therapy have not been realised.

Background: Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a prevalent cancer characterized by molecular and clinical heterogeneity. Assessing the spatial heterogeneity of the MIBC microenvironment is crucial to understand its clinical significance.

Methods: In this study, we used imaging mass cytometry (IMC) to assess the spatial heterogeneity of MIBC microenvironment across 185 regions of interest in 40 tissue samples.

Background: Uveal melanoma (UM), arising from melanocytes in the choroid, accounts for 3% to 5% of all melanocytic tumors and over 70% of intraocular malignancies. Despite effective local treatments, metastasis remains a significant challenge, with more than half of patients developing metastatic disease within ten years. Conventional therapies often yield poor outcomes, highlighting the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies to enhance survival and prognosis for UM patients.

Asymmetry in choice patterns across rewarding and punishing contexts has long been observed in behavioural economics. Within existing theories of reinforcement learning, the mechanistic account of these behavioural differences is still debated. We propose that motivational salience-the degree of bottom-up attention attracted by a stimulus with relation to motivational goals-offers a potential mechanism to modulate stimulus value updating and decision policy.
