Cellular-Resolution Spatial Transcriptomics Reveals Laminar VSMC Phenotypic Remodeling and a Hypoxic Medial Core in Human Thoracic Aortic Dissection

The paper uses spatial transcriptomics to identify hypoxia-adapted VSMC remodeling in human aortic dissection, linking it to interlamellar separation.

Benchmarking cell type annotation in spatial transcriptomics: resolving cellular hierarchies, biological fidelity, and dynamic cell states

This study benchmarks 20 cell type annotation methods on spatial transcriptomics data to evaluate their performance in resolving cell types, subtypes, and biological organization across diverse datasets.

Spatial transcriptomics reveals organizational properties of the mouse spinal cord and alterations in neuropathic pain

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to map the organization of the mouse spinal cord and identifies changes in neuronal subtypes and communication patterns in neuropathic pain.

BioLACE: unifying spatial geometry and marker priors for cohesive cell-type clustering in spatial transcriptomics

BioLACE improves spatial clustering in transcriptomics by integrating spatial geometry and marker gene priors within a VAE framework, achieving better cell type accuracy and interpretability.
