Three-dimensional assessments are necessary to determine the true, spatially-resolved composition of tissues

A. Forjaz, E. Vaz, V. M. Romero, S. Joshi, A. M. Braxton, A. C. Jiang, K. Fujikura, T. Cornish, S.-M. Hong, R. H. Hruban, P.-H. Wu, L. D. Wood, A. L. Kiemen, D. Wirtz

This study shows that 3D assessments are necessary to accurately determine tissue composition and neoplastic content, as 2D methods under-sample spatial heterogeneity.

Three-dimensional genomic mapping of human pancreatic tissue reveals striking multifocality and genetic heterogeneity in precancerous lesions

A. M. Braxton, A. L. Kiemen, M. P. Grahn, A. Forjaz, J. M. Babu, L. Zheng, L. Jiang, H. Cheng, Q. Song, R. Reichel, S. Graham, A. I. Damanakis, C. G. Fischer, S. Mou, C. Metz, , L. D. Wood

This study uses 3D imaging and genomic analysis to show that human pancreatic precancerous lesions (PanINs) are highly multifocal and genetically heterogeneous.
