Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Simplified cross-section of the human epidermis, highlighting squamous cells, melanocytes and basal cells. Coloured regions represent cSCC (green), which originates from squamous cells, melanoma (orange), which originates from melanocytes, and BCC (blue), which originates from basal cells. Two orange melanocytes are shown in the dermal region as occurs in invasive melanoma; other cells in the lower dermis layer are not depicted. (b) Overview of sample design and technologies used to generate data for this project. ROI - region of interest; FOV - field of view; S - cSCC; B - BCC; M - melanoma; HC - healthy (cancer patient); HNC - healthy (non-cancer patient donor). Technologies included are single cell RNA sequencing for fresh samples, single nuclei sequencing for formalin-fixed samples, Visium, Xenium, CosMX, GeoMX DSP for whole transcriptome, GeoMX DSP for proteins, Polaris, RNAscope, the proximal ligation assay, spatial glycomics and CODEX.
Article Snippet: Cells expressing the two genes are visualized on single-cell level resolution spatial data from STOmics and Curio-Seeker (Takara Bio, USA) melanoma samples and appear to be in spatial proximity ( ).
Techniques: RNA Sequencing, Sequencing, RNAscope, Ligation
