We present a powerful method for direct mRNA detection based on ligation-based recognition and in situ amplification, capable of single-cell imaging mRNA at single-nucleotide and single-molecule resolution. Attributed to the use of Splint R ligase that can ligate padlock probe with RNA as target template, this method can efficiently detect mRNA in the absence of reverse transcription. This method enables spatial localization and correlation analysis of gene expression in single cells, which helps us to elucidate gene function and regulatory mechanisms.

Purpose: Adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) paired with intravitreal injection of a viral vector coding for the calcium indicator GCaMP has enabled visualization of neuronal activity in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) at single cell resolution in the living eye. However, the inner limiting membrane (ILM) restricts viral transduction to the fovea in humans and non-human primates, hindering both therapeutic intervention and physiological study of the retina. To address this issue, we explored peeling the ILM before intravitreal injection to expand calcium imaging beyond the fovea in the living primate eye.

NUT carcinoma is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy characterized by rapid progression, resistance to conventional therapies, and an extremely poor prognosis. This report presents a 36-year-old patient with stage IIIB primary pulmonary NUT carcinoma who achieved remarkable clinical outcomes with NHWD-870 monotherapy, a novel BET inhibitor. After just 1 month of treatment, imaging revealed a partial response, and a complete response was achieved within 5 months.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease with diverse outcomes, and intra-tumoral heterogeneity plays a significant role in both diagnosis and treatment. Despite its importance, the spatial distribution of intra-tumoral heterogeneity is not fully elucidated. Spatial transcriptomics has emerged as a promising tool to study the molecular mechanisms behind many diseases.

Single-cell surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has emerged as a powerful tool for precision medicine owing to its label-free detection, ultrasensitivity, and unique molecular fingerprinting. Unlike conventional bulk analysis, it enables detailed characterization of cellular heterogeneity, with particular promise in circulating tumor cell (CTC) identification, tumor microenvironment (TME) metabolic profiling, subcellular imaging, and drug sensitivity assessment. Coupled with microfluidic droplet systems, SERS supports high-throughput single-cell analysis and multiparametric screening, while integration with complementary modalities such as fluorescence microscopy and mass spectrometry enhances temporal and spatial resolution for monitoring live cells.
