When doctors examine a cancer tumor, for example, they don\u2019t just look at which cells are present; they also want to know how those cells are arranged and how they interact with each other. That\u2019s because the way cancer cells interact with neighboring immune cells can offer important clues about how a disease develops or responds to treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists can study these relationships using <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2024-09-qa-cell-spatial-proteomics-reveal.html?utm_source=embeddings&utm_medium=related&utm_campaign=internal\" rel=\"related\">spatial proteomics<\/a>, a technology that captures this organization by measuring dozens of proteins while preserving their locations. Because proteins help control what cells do, these images offer a valuable picture of how healthy and diseased tissues work.<\/p>\n<p>But the resulting data sets are difficult to combine. Research laboratories around the world use different equipment, examine different proteins and store their results in different ways. Combining this information is complicated and time-consuming, making it difficult to use large amounts of data for both conventional studies and, now, training artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How cells are arranged within tissue can reveal as much about disease as the cells themselves.
