Cover Story: Most platforms used to reconstruct the tumor ecosystem (TE) fail to explore the spatial context in the three-dimensional (3D) space of a solid tumor with single-cell resolution, and thus lack information on cell–cell or cell–extracellular matrix interactions. Our study features a pipeline of integrated multiplex multi-omics 3D spatially resolved modalities using two FFPE gynecological tumor samples. The multi-omics modalities include non-targeted mass spectrometry imaging, stereo-seq, and targeted seqIF. These spatially resolved modalities identify analytes in voxels across serial tissue sections, which reveals an integrated 3D spatial map displaying cell identity, activation, and energized status. These methods will provide insights into the molecular basis of spatial cell heterogeneity. View this paper
