New imaging shows where every cell type sits in a tumour slice. Using it to see which sub-populations are hidden from immune cells could explain why immunotherapy fails in parts of a tumour.
Spatial transcriptomics and multiplex imaging can now assign genotype-inferred clones and immune phenotypes to positions in a section. The proposal is a diagnostic-biopsy pipeline reporting clone-immune neighbourhoods: which subclones are immune-excluded, which express MHC, and whether resistant clones cluster in immune deserts. This would be used to decide whether to combine a targeted agent with immunotherapy or a stroma-modifying agent.
