VisualZoneR is an R-based technique used to analyze spatial transcriptomics data generated by employing Visium or Visium HD technology. Here, we present a protocol to identify compartmental zones from single-cell spatial transcriptomics using VisualZoneR. We describe steps for identifying distinct zones ranging from healthy liver tissue to inner metastatic areas and measuring transcriptomic changes. We then detail procedures for integrating distinct samples and grouping transcriptomic spots into compartmental zones according to their relative distance from the tumor/liver parenchyma boundary.

Article Synopsis
- - The lymph node is structured into dynamic compartments like T and B zones, which enhance both innate and adaptive immune responses and have led to new insights across various biological and medical fields.
- - The review emphasizes advanced 3D and 4D imaging techniques to study human lymph nodes, highlighting the insights gained from these methods compared to traditional 2D tissue analysis, particularly in understanding immune interactions and lymphoma behavior.
- - Findings show that T cells move faster than B cells and reticulum cells within reactive lymphoid tissue, with variations in cell contact times potentially aiding in lymphoma classification; 4D technology can also play a key role in testing new cancer therapies.

Background: Soil salinization is a serious environmental hazard, limiting plant growth and production in different agro-ecological zones worldwide. Diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate (DA-6) as an essential plant growth regulator (PGR) exhibits a beneficial role in improving crop growth and stress tolerance. However, the DA-6-regulated effect and mechanism of salt tolerance in plants are still not fully understood.

Palm swamp forests are wetland ecosystems typical of the Brazilian Cerrado, which in recent decades have undergone intense changes due to land use alterations and climate change. As a result of these disturbances, many palm swamps have been experiencing significant drying, which can also affect adjacent vegetation. In the present study, we evaluated whether the drying of palm swamps affects the structure of plant-herbivore networks located in adjacent savanna areas in Brazil.

Various lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) mediate the inter-organelle transport of lipids. By working at membrane contact zones between donor and acceptor organelles, LTPs achieve rapid and accurate inter-organelle transfer of lipids. This article will describe the emerging paradigm that the action of LTPs at organelle contact zones generates metabolic channeling events in lipid metabolism, mainly referring to how ceramide synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum is preferentially metabolized to sphingomyelin in the distal Golgi region, how cholesterol and phospholipids receive specific metabolic reactions in mitochondria, and how the hijacking of host LTPs by intracellular pathogens may generate new channeling-like events.
