Abstract
Stereo-cell is a newly developed platform for spatial single-cell sequencing that integrates morphology, transcriptomics, and proteomics in high resolution. By preserving spatial context while enabling multimodal profiling, it bridges the gap between advanced omics and traditional pathology, supporting the detection of rare cells and clinically interpretable diagnoses. This letter highlights the technical innovations of Stereo-cell, its positioning within the spatial omics landscape, and its potential for precision medicine. Important challenges in data integration, regulatory compliance, and digital modelling are discussed as essential steps on the path to clinical implementation.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Medicine (CTM) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to accelerating the translation of preclinical research into clinical applications and fostering communication between basic and clinical scientists. It highlights the clinical potential and application of various fields including biotechnologies, biomaterials, bioengineering, biomarkers, molecular medicine, omics science, bioinformatics, immunology, molecular imaging, drug discovery, regulation, and health policy. With a focus on the bench-to-bedside approach, CTM prioritizes studies and clinical observations that generate hypotheses relevant to patients and diseases, guiding investigations in cellular and molecular medicine. The journal encourages submissions from clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals.
