New Platform Enables 3D Mapping of Diseased Tissues at Subcellular Level

Open-ST offers cost-effective, high-resolution spatial transcriptomics for advanced disease research

  • Developed by the Max Delbrück Center, Open-ST reconstructs gene expression in three dimensions.
  • The platform captures intricate molecular and cellular structures lost in traditional 2D methods.
  • Open-ST has revealed new insights into cancer cell interactions and potential drug targets.
  • The technology is modular, cost-effective, and accessible, using standard lab equipment.
  • Researchers have made the workflow freely available to democratize use and accelerate discovery.
