Integration of single-nuclei RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics defines the complex microenvironment of NF1-associated plexiform neurofibromas

single-nuclei RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) was applied retrospectively to 8 frozen plexiform neurofibromas (PN) to characterize the disease tumor microenvironment (TME). Additionally, 4 frozen PN samples were OCT embedded and spatial transcriptomics (ST) was run, adding morphological context to the transcriptomic data generated.
