Multiplexed spatial immunophenotyping has advanced our understanding of tissues in the context of homeostasis and disease. Two studies now provide additional tools to overcome challenges with multiplexed imaging: one procedure amplifies the detection of low-abundance antigens by integrating SABER and IMC technologies, and the other is an X-ray-based method that enables the non-destructive multiplexed detection of antigens in tissues at scalable resolution and speed.
