A computational method designs receptors called T-SenSERs, which have predictable signalling responses to tumour microenvironment soluble factors and can be co-expressed with conventional CARs in T cells to enhance their therapeutic activity.

What is RNA velocity in situ? ChatGPT kept getting it wrong...

So I made this video explaining how RNA velocity in situ infers gene expression dynamics by distinguishing nuclear vs. cytoplasmic expression in spatial transcriptomics data: youtu.be/z9Oxf1hvum0
