In situ spatial proteomics analysis of a single cell has not been achieved yet, mainly because of insufficient throughput and sensitivity of current techniques. Recent progress on immuno-nucleic acid amplification technology presents tremendous opportunities to address this issue. Here, we report an innovative hybridization chain reaction (HCR) technique that involves computer-aided design (CAD) and reversible assembly. CAD enables highly multiplexed HCR with a sequence database that can work in parallel, while reversible assembly enables the switching of HCR between a working state and a resting state. Thus, CAD-HCR has been successfully adopted for single-cell spatial proteomics analysis. The fluorescence signal of CAD-HCR is comparable with conventional immunofluorescence, and it is positively correlated with the abundance of target proteins, which is beneficial for the visualization of proteins. The method developed here expands the toolbox of single-cell analysis and proteomics studies, as well as the performance and application of HCR.

The rapid emergence of mineralized structures in diverse animal groups during the late Ediacaran and early Cambrian periods likely resulted from modifications of pre-adapted biomineralization genes inherited from a common ancestor. As the oldest extant phylum with mineralized structures, sponges are key to understanding animal biomineralization. Yet, the biomineralization process in sponges, particularly in forming spicules, is not well understood.

There is limited understanding of the impact of anti-IL5 treatment on nasal polyp tissue biology in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This study examined nasal polyp tissue cellular proteome and transcriptome responses to anti-IL5 treatment in CRSwNP utilising spatial profiling. GeoMx™ Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) of 80 proteins and 1,833 mRNA targets in the polyp stroma and the whole transcriptome (18,815 mRNA targets) in polyp epithelia was undertaken on sinonasal biopsies collected from 20 individuals with eosinophilic CRSwNP before and after 16 and 24 weeks of mepolizumab treatment.

Motivation: Advances in high-throughput technologies have shifted the focus from bulk to single cell or spatial transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of tissues and cell cultures. The resulting increase in gene and/or protein lists leads to the subsequent growth of up- and downregulated pathways lists. This trend creates the need for pathway-network based integration strategies that allow quick exploration of shared and distinct mechanisms across datasets.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial, mechano-inflammatory joint disorder characterized by cartilage degradation, synovial inflammation, and subchondral bone remodeling. Despite its high prevalence and significant impact on quality of life, no disease-modifying treatments have been approved. In many other disease areas, advanced omics technologies are impacting the development of advanced therapies.

Background: Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have a long-standing history and diverse applications. However, their complex multi-component compositions and intricate mechanisms of action pose significant challenges for modern scientific investigation. Addressing these complexities requires advanced techniques capable of dissecting cellular and molecular interactions with high resolution.
