In this webinar, we will dive into the powerful potential of combining protein and RNA measurements within the same tissue section to advance our understanding of complex pathological processes. By integrating spatial transcriptomics with multiplex immunofluorescence, we can uncover detailed information about tissue architecture and how individual cells communicate and interact within their local microenvironment.

Our bodies are in a constant balancing act known as homeostasis. The ringleader behind all this? Autophagy, an essential lysosome-mediated degradation pathway that maintains cellular viability and death in response to various intra- and extra-cellular stress. It determines whether we remain healthy or succumb to diseases, such as cancer, Parkinson’s, and diabetes, and scientists have recently made headway in elucidating its pathways. Autophagy appears to be a double-edged sword.

By studying the steps the body takes to turn stem cells into organs, scientists can now construct tiny organ-like cell clusters. These organoids are helping combat disease as testing grounds for potential medications, but they also are being explored as direct therapies.

This podcast is brought to you by the Science/AAAS Custom Publishing Office. What makes us who we are? The old nature-nurture debate is becoming more nuanced, as epigenetics emerges as a third pillar of self next to genes and environment. Epigenetics helps explain why twins are different or why some laboratory mice with identical genes are more bitey than others.
