3D multi-omics tumour atlases: from technology to biology and clinical translation.
Liu M, Villazon J, Forjaz A, Tian X, Fan R, Wang S, Shi L, Wirtz D, Kiemen AL. 3D multi-omics tumour atlases: from technology to biology and clinical translation. Nat Rev Cancer 2026 PMID: 42298141, DOI: 10.1038/s41568-026-00940-0.Peer-Reviewed Original ResearchThis study investigates 3D tumour atlases, showing how spatial multi-omics technologies uncover tumour evolution, aiding early cancer detection, risk stratification, and innovative treatment strategies.Rational Design of Immune Gene Therapy Combinations via In Vivo CRISPR Activation Screen of Tumor Microenvironment Modulators.
