The paper identifies iron deposition as a distinct phase of intraplaque hemorrhage, associated with inflammation and remodeling, through transcriptomic, histological, and metabolic analyses of human atherosclerotic plaques.

The paper uses multimodal imaging and single-cell transcriptomics to identify LPCAT2-mediated membrane remodeling in granuloma macrophages during visceral leishmaniasis.

This paper integrates MALDI-MSI and spatial transcriptomics on the same tissue section to achieve precise spatial alignment and uncover metabolic and transcriptomic heterogeneity.
