In a new publication we developed a multiplexed spatial profiling method, ARTseq-FISH. This method enables the simultaneous detection and quantitation of mRNA, protein and phosphoprotein levels in individual cells at the same resolution. Now published in Nature Communications! Congratulations to Xinyu, Bob and all co-authors! You can read the paper here.
