“Sectioning Bone Marrow for Spatial Transcriptomics required extensive optimization to preserve tissue quality and concomitantly maintain RNA integrity. Thanks to MERFISH 2.0, we were able to quantify millions of transcripts in this complex tissue. This will unleash a more comprehensive understanding of the bone-marrow microenvironment where cells of different lineage and commitment coexists within tight spatial confines.”
