Identifying small sites of disease initiation or characterizing the exact molecular changes that drive disease progression is difficult when working with animal models or post-mortem human organs. Bhatia et al. developed DISCO-MS, a 3D spatial-omics technology that uses robotics to obtain proteomics data from cells identified early in diseases. Image shows the aortic regions of a human heart whose vascular plaques are analyzed by DISCO-MS technology.
