Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Study of Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumors Academic Background Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors originating from the meninges of the central nervous system (CNS). Although SFTs are histologically similar to other meningeal tumors (such as meningiomas), their unique clinical...

Academic Background The formation and maintenance of vascular networks are critical processes in embryonic development and tissue regeneration, involving the regulation of various biophysical forces. Endothelial cells (ECs) play a central role in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis, with the contractile forces of the cytoskeleton (actomyosin contractil...
