“Form follows function” is a famous saying in architecture that directly applies to cellular biology. High-resolution in situ spatial profiling technologies allows researchers to study transcripts at subcellular resolution, define cells in the context of their tissue microenvironment, and better characterize cellular function. Download this infographic to explore key publications from spatial biology’s history, from the early days to how Xenium In Situ is fueling groundbreaking research of the future, today.
