Discovering new sub-cellular worlds in 3D brain samples
3D spatial transcriptomics may hold clues to future therapies for brain diseases. The technique measures gene expression from the RNA found in cells. It tells us what type of cell it is, exactly where it is, and can also indicate how a cell may interact with neighboring structures to the sides, above or below.
