Recently, we proposed four physical hallmarks of cancer, with distinct origins and consequences, to characterize abnormalities in the physical tumor microenvironment: (1) elevated compressive-tensile solid stresses, (2) elevated interstitial fluid pressure and the resulting interstitial fluid flow, (3) altered material properties (for example, increased tissue stiffness) and (4) altered physical micro-architecture. As this emerging field of physical oncology is being advanced by tumor biologists, cell and developmental biologists, engineers, physicists and oncologists, there is a critical need for model systems and measurement tools to mechanistically probe these physical hallmarks. Here, after briefly defining these physical hallmarks, we discuss the tools and model systems available for probing each hallmark in vitro, ex vivo, in vivo and in clinical settings. We finally review the unmet needs for mechanistic probing of the physical hallmarks of tumors and discuss the challenges and unanswered questions associated with each hallmark.</p>","PeriodicalId":18981,"journal":{"name":"Nature Methods","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":36.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143008711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effectively modeling multimodal spatial omics data is crucial for understanding tissue complexity and underlying biology. Furthermore, improvements in spatial resolution have led to the advent of technologies that can generate spatial molecular data with subcellular resolution, requiring the development of computationally efficient methods that can handle the resulting large-scale datasets. MISO (MultI-modal Spatial Omics) is a versatile algorithm for feature extraction and clustering, capable of integrating multiple modalities from diverse spatial omics experiments with high spatial resolution. Its effectiveness is demonstrated across various datasets, encompassing gene expression, protein expression, epigenetics, metabolomics and tissue histology modalities. MISO outperforms existing methods in identifying biologically relevant spatial domains, representing a substantial advancement in multimodal spatial omics analysis. Moreover, MISO’s computational efficiency ensures its scalability to handle large-scale datasets generated by subcellular resolution spatial omics technologies. MISO (MultI-modal Spatial Omics) integrates two or more spatial omics modalities, despite differences in data quality and spatial resolution for improved feature extraction and clustering to reveal biologically meaningful tissue organization.","PeriodicalId":18981,"journal":{"name":"Nature Methods","volume":"22 3","pages":"530-538"},"PeriodicalIF":36.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143008712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
