Cardiac multiomics

Spatially resolved multiomics reveals the microanatomy of the human heart

Spatially resolved multiomics is an emerging approach for profiling gene expression at the cellular level while maintaining the spatial organization of tissues. Its application in healthy human hearts provides insight into ion channels and regulatory signaling in the cardiac conduction system, cardiac cellular niches and drug–cell interactions.
