The NIH, NIAID, LCIM, has an emergency procurement for spatial transcriptomics of iPSC-derived cerebral organoids and MS human brain tissue. These are necessary supplies for the ongoing research experiments. These items are for an ongoing project utilizing induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patients involved in the clinical trial ongoing in the NDS lab to develop cerebral organoids as a translatable and complex biological model for multiple sclerosis (MS). The organoids have been growing and maintained alive for approximately two and a half years. They are currently being cultured with different drugs we study in TRAP-MS clinical trials. To get organoids to this stage cost us thousands of dollars in reagents and in time spent working on this project. The items will be used to evaluate the effect of drugs on MS CNS tissue. Xenium is a high-resolution, imaging-based in situ spatial profiling technology from 10x Genomics that allows for simultaneous expression analysis of RNA targets within the same tissue section. This assay can identify the location of target transcripts within the tissue, providing a single cell resolution map of expression patterns of all genes included in the selected probe panel, which we will then merge with our scRNAseq or snRNAseq data.
