An integrated approach for analyzing spatially resolved multi-omics datasets from the same tissue section
As spatial biology methods mature, users are increasingly combining multiple readouts for a holistic view of tissue biology. This paper presents a software and a computational framework for integration and data analysis of same-section spatial transcriptomics and spatial proteomics data acquired using different spatial platforms.

Classification of Small Blue Round Cell Tumors by integrating peptide and N-glycan mass spectrometric profiles
How do different machine learning models perform in the classification of tumours when trained on information from peptide or N-glycan profiles? This study investigated what happens when commonly used machine learning models were trained on peptides and histology profiles, N-glycans and histology, and the integration of all three.

Quantitative MALDI Imaging of Aspirin Metabolites in Mouse Models of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
This study refined quantitative MALDI imaging (QMALDI) to map aspirin metabolites, especially salicylic acid (SA). Precise spatial alignment, integration, and quantification of QMALDI, histology, and immunofluorescence images allowed accurate evaluation of the spatial distribution of SA in tissue regions, and helps with the further development of aspirin as an activatable MRI contrast agent.

Integration of Multiple Spatial Omics Modalities Reveals Unique Insights into Molecular Heterogeneity of Prostate Cancer
In this preprint, we integrated spatial transcriptomics, mass spectrometry-based lipidomics, single nucleus RNA-seq and histomorphological information from human prostate cancer patient samples. This provided novel insights into correlating genes and lipids linked to distinct cell populations and histopathological disease states, as well as comparisons across samples in a tissue cohort.
