ImmunoTar—Integrative Prioritization of Cell Surface Targets for Cancer Immunotherapy

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death globally. Despite significant advancements in immunotherapy in recent years, such as the successful application of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), the effective identification of cancer-specific surface protein targets remains a major challenge i...

Single-Cell Unified Polarization Assessment of Immune Cells

Immune cells undergo cytokine-driven polarization in response to various stimuli, which alters their transcriptional profiles and functional states. This dynamic process plays a central role in immune responses in both health and disease. However, there has been a lack of systematic methods to assess cytokine-driven polarization in single-cell RNA ...

Contrastive Mapping Learning for Spatial Reconstruction of Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Data

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology enables high-throughput transcriptomic profiling at single-cell resolution, significantly advancing research in cell biology. However, a notable limitation of scRNA-seq is that it requires tissue dissociation, resulting in the loss of the original spatial location information of cells within tissues...
