\nSpatial Molecular Imager Locates Rare Senescent Cells in Brain Tissue<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#earnings<\/a>–NanoString Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSTG), a leading provider of life science tools for discovery and translational research, today announced that the company\u2019s CosMx\u2122 Spatial Molecular Imager (SMI) has been highlighted in the January edition of National Geographic Magazine<\/i>. An article entitled \u2018Living Longer and Better\u2019 highlighted research from Wake Forest University, which used the CosMx SMI to study human brain tissue from patients with Alzheimer\u2019s disease to reveal the intricacies of human aging.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\nMiranda Orr, PhD, Assistant Professor of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine at Wake Forest University, has been utilizing NanoString\u2019s spatial biology platforms to understand one of the hallmarks of biological aging, called cellular senescence. Senescent cells have stopped dividing, but remain active and can release substances that may cause inflammation and damage to nearby healthy cells. Previous research has identified that the brains of people with Alzheimer\u2019s disease have more senescent cells than healthy people.\n<\/p>\n

\nA major challenge in Alzheimer\u2019s research has been how to find senescent cells in a tissue because they comprise only about 2% of cells, and their complex molecular signature differs across tissues. The Wake Forest team used CosMx SMI to identify and locate senescent cells in brain tissue from a deceased Alzheimer\u2019s disease patient.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe CosMx SMI is the only instrument that has provided us with the opportunity to simultaneously visualize more than one thousand genes, at subcellular resolution, and across all cells in a tissue,\u201d said Dr. Orr. \u201cWe are able to develop maps of the brain at an unprecedented resolution.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nCosMx SMI enables high-resolution imaging of more than 1,000 RNA and over 64 protein analytes within morphologically intact whole tissue sections. The CosMx instrument allows researchers to visualize and quantify gene and protein expression at single cell and subcellular resolutions within both fresh frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples. Using a multi-modality approach, including protein imaging, CosMx SMI delivers best-in-class cell segmentation. With high-plex in situ<\/i> analysis, researchers can perform cell typing, cell state, functional, and cell-cell interaction analyses in a single experiment to generate high-resolution cell atlases.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe CosMx SMI is the newest product in the company’s industry-leading spatial analysis portfolio, joining the GeoMx\u00ae Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP). The GeoMx DSP is a fully-automated spatial profiler allowing multi-cellular analysis of whole transcriptome for both human and mouse applications. Both platforms are also customizable for other species.\n<\/p>\n
