Better spatial tissue imaging techniques to differentiate CTCL and AD➜ DOI: 10.1038/s41540-024-00474-xCutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) can be difficult to distinguish from inflammatory skin conditions like atopic dermatitis (AD). Multi-antigen imaging protein abundance maps were analyzed with spatial graphs inferred from the cells' positions in the tissue samples. Characteristic patterns of skin tissue organization allowed a high-precision [...] Read More
