TERRA is a foundation model for spatial transcriptomics that predicts tissue behavior under perturbation and identifies multi-scale biological insights across tissues.

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to map Pseudomonas aeruginosa niches in lung tissue from CF and COPD patients, revealing distinct bacterial states and host interactions linked to infection persistence.

This study develops a human epithelial co-culture system that supports Treponema pallidum growth and identifies two distinct host-cell interaction behaviors.

This study characterizes S. aureus strains and virulence genes in Kenyan clinical isolates, revealing high diversity and toxin gene accumulation in MSSA.
