A quantitative spatial cell-cell colocalizations framework enabling comparisons between in vitro assembloids and pathological specimens by Gina Bouchard, Weiruo Zhang, Ilayda Ilerten, Irene Li, Asmita Bhattacharya, Yuanyuan Li, Winston Trope, Joseph B. Shrager, Calvin Kuo, Michael G. Ozawa, Amato J. Giaccia, Lu Tian, Sylvia K. Plevritis

“…We perform cell-pair colocalization analysis on multiplexed immunofluorescence images of assembloids constructed with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) organoids and cancer-associated fibroblasts derived from human tumors. Our data show that assembloids recapitulate human LUAD tumor-stroma spatial organization, justifying their use as a tool for investigating the spatial biology of human disease. …”
