The paper introduces the colocatome, a spatial-omic framework, to compare microenvironment features between tumour-stroma assembloids and lung cancer specimens, finding that fibroblasts protect cancer cells from treatment by reorganizing cytoarchitecture.

This paper identifies activated interstitial macrophages as a key target of SARS-CoV-2 infection in human lung tissue, showing their role in viral takeover, inflammation, and fibrosis.

The paper introduces REMI, a graph-based method to reconstruct cell-cell interactions in lung adenocarcinoma by accounting for ligand-receptor dependencies, and validates its findings experimentally.
