Briefing: From slices to whole bodies: How 3D cell atlases could reshape pathology research

Traditional pathology has relied heavily on two-dimensional analysis of tissue sections, which limits the understanding of cellular interactions and distributions within organs.

The implementation of 3D cell atlases offers a more comprehensive view, allowing researchers to visualize the spatial organization of cells in their native environments.

This shift in methodology could lead to improved diagnostic capabilities and more effective treatment strategies by providing deeper insights into tissue structure and function.
