Heij et al. investigated the expression of checkpoint molecules in the tumor microenvironment of intrahepatic cholangio-carcinoma. They found that co-expression patterns of checkpoint molecules such as PD-L1 and TIGIT correlate with metastases and poor prognosis. TissueFAXS and StrataQuest were used to image the mIF-stained samples and assess protein expression.

QUAREP-LiMi is an initiative focused on promoting quality assessment and reproducibility for instruments and images in light microscopy. Dr. Rupert Ecker, CEO of TissueGnostics, participated in developing standardized guidelines for best practices in image communication. These checklists offer key recommendations on image formatting and annotation among others.

To predict survival of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, Zhou et al. performed an AI-assisted comprehensive analysis of CD8+ T cells, cancer stem cells (CSCs), and tumor budding (TB). They used StrataQuest image analysis software to automatically detect and quantify tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells, CD133+ CSCs, and CK19+ TB.

In a recent study, Imamura et al. investigated the role of debrin-expressing tumor infiltration lymphocytes (TIL) in lung cancer. The high-end image analysis solution, StrataQuest, was used for the automatic tissue classification and localization of CD3+/debrin+ cellular phenotypes in the tumor cell nest, as well as in the stroma.

Yan et al. investigated several collagen subtypes involved in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma desmoplasia. Based on this study, COL8A1 was suggested as a new marker for predicting poor chemotherapy responsiveness and survival. The TissueFAXS imaging platform and StrataQuest analysis solution were used to image and segment morphological structures.

Savic et al. investigated the Erk 1/2 pathway role in ferroptosis induction by targeting xCT protein during the treatment of HNSCC. They found erastin to be a potent ferroptosis inducer which is strongly dependent on Erk 1/2 kinases. TissueFAXS and HistoQuest were used to image the IHC-stained samples and calculate the percentage of xCT-positive cells.

Song et al. published a case study investigating the genetics and tumor microenvironment of a rectal cancer patient with MSS/PD-L1-negative recurrent hepatopulmonary metastasis. TissueFAXS and StrataQuest were used to image stained tissue samples and to assess tumor infiltrating immune cells using, among others, CD4, CD8, CD163, PD1, and PD-L1 as markers.
FEATURED PUBLICATION
Mahlobo et al. published a study in BMC Immunology addressing the effect of HIV infections on frequencies, function, spatial localization and heterogeneity of T follicular regulatory cells (TFRs) in human lymph nodes. TFRs within lymph node tissues were quantified using TissueFAXS i PLUS and TissueQuest.
FEATURED PUBLICATION
Kaneko et al. published a study in the Clinical Immunology journal focusing on the quantitative analysis of T-cell subset alterations in thoracic lymph nodes and lung samples of COVID-19 patients. With the help of TissueFAXS and StrataQuest, the authors were first to show the expansion of cytotoxic CD4+ T cells in the lungs of patients with severe COVID-19.

In a recent publication in the journal Molecular Therapy, Wang et al (Cheeloo Medical College of Shandong University) combine multiplexing and TissueGnostics’ image cytometry solutions for the assessment of the expression level of Tim-3, a well-known immune checkpoint, in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. This study nominates Tim-3 as a potential target for cancer immunotherapy.

In a recent publication in the MDPI - International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Rath et al (University Hospital Heidelberg) combine multiplexing, TissueGnostics’ image cytometry and in-depth data mining to characterize the immune microenvironment including spatial relationships within keloid lesions. Using this approach, the authors were able to nominate potential therapeutic targets.

A recent publication from the group of Choe et al. (University of California, UCSF) published in Science Translational research is exploring the therapeutic effectiveness of SynNotch-CAR T cells in a PDX glioblastoma mouse model. T cells in-situ were imaged/assessed by TissueFAXS and quantified via StrataQuest.

Lin et al. investigated the UHRF1/DNMT1–MZF1 axis in the context of CpG methylation of protease serine 3, a protein with several isoforms that show paradoxical effects. To differentiate the isoforms, the researchers employed 7-marker multiplex staining and performed a quantitative analysis using TissueFAXS SPECTRA and StrataQuest.
