Resolving tumor microenvironment heterogeneity at the single cell level from fixed samples
The tumor microenvironment (TME) has been recognized as a key factor in determining therapeutic responses across various cancer types, yet efforts to explore the full depth and complexity of the TME have been hindered by a lack of adequate tools. Bulk RNA sequencing, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry have all led to landmark discoveries in cancer research. However, they have also fallen short due to their lack of resolution, scale, and sample accessibility.
In this webinar, 10x Genomics will present the Single Cell Gene Expression Flex assay, which enables high-throughput RNA sequencing at the single cell level from fixed samples. By introducing simple and ubiquitous fixation conditions, researchers can perform routine whole transcriptome profiling of ~1M single cells across as many as 128 unique samples, while removing supply chain and time constraints from experimental designs. This advanced chemistry allows scientists to investigate the full complexity of the TME and uncover novel insights into cancer biology.
