Happy to see this amazing work finally out. We used our NePSTA model to acurately predict the epigenetic subtypes of meningiomas based on cell-type abundance in subgraphs containing gene expression features + spatial adjacency.

#microglia and other tissue #macrophages are highly plastic. This makes them look differently depending on their respective context. Granular methods like #single-cell sequencing are merely snapshots that may simplify the complexity found in the tissue. In our perspective in @natneuro.nature.com

How does tumour heterogeneity arise? How can we predict cancer cell plasticity? In 2 new studies, we trace #glioblastoma heterogeneity to a spatial cancer cell trajectory w. multimodal cell atlassing bit.ly/4mkrWgs & predict plasticity w. snRNA/ATAC+deep learning bit.ly/3FbI6Ic 🧡
