Spatial proteo-transcriptomic profiling reveals the molecular landscape of borderline ovarian tumors and their invasive progression
Schweizer et al. profile the tumor progression from non-invasive serous borderline tumors of the ovary to metastatic low-grade serous ovarian cancer. By integrating cell-type resolved Deep Visual Proteomics and spatial transcriptomics, they identify and validate several drivers of transformation as well as a novel combination treatment for this chemo-resistant disease.
