Cells of the same type can behave very differently depending on their environment, activation state, or interaction with neighboring cells. So how can we reliably understand the behaviour of individual cells within complex, heterogeneous tissues?
In the latest installment of our Lightcast Illuminations series, Lightcast CCO Paul Steinberg delves into the evolving landscape of tools that have allowed researchers to understand cellular characteristics, heterogeneity, and spatial context — and explains how Lightcast’s Envisia platform moves beyond multiomic inference to directly measure function at the single-cell level.
