Background: The metabolic alterations occurring within the arterial architecture during atherosclerosis development remain poorly understood, let alone those particular to each arterial tunica. We aimed first to identify, in a spatially resolved manner, the specific metabolic changes in plaque, media, adventitia, and cardiac tissue between control and atherosclerotic murine aortas. Second, we assessed their translatability to human tissue and plasma for cardiovascular risk estimation.

Biliary tract cancers (BTCs), which include cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and gallbladder cancer (GBC), are heterogenous malignancies characterized by distinct molecular features often associated with specific clinical traits and/or outcomes. Such complex molecular heterogeneity, both within each BTC subtype and between distinct subtypes, poses a great challenge to personalized medicine. Recent technological advances have allowed the integration of multiple -omics derived from large cohorts of patients with distinct solid cancers to ultimately design stratification algorithms for prognostic prediction or more efficient treatment allocation.

Multiplexing enables the assessment of several markers on the same tissue while providing spatial context. Spatial Omics technologies allow both protein and RNA multiplexing by leveraging photo-cleavable oligo-tagged antibodies and probes, respectively. Oligos are cleaved and quantified from specific regions across the tissue to elucidate the underlying biology.

Background: Tumor infiltrating myeloid (TIM) cells constitute a vital element of the tumor microenvironment. The cell-type heterogeneity of TIM has yet to be fully investigated.

Methods: We used a time saving approach to generate a single-cell reference matrix, allowing quantification of cell-type proportions and cell-type-specific gene abundances in bulk RNA-seq data.
