Super-Resolution Visual ProteomEx for Hard Tissues and Clinical Samples

Correlating nanoscale tissue architecture with unbiased molecular composition within the same specimen remains a fundamental challenge in spatial biology. Current spatial proteomics methods either lack the imaging resolution required to resolve nanoscale tissue architecture or achieve only limited proteome coverage, and untargeted approaches capable of deep protein identification have yet to be integrated with super-resolution imaging within a single workflow. Here, we present microProteomEx, an integrated platform that combines hydrogel-assisted tissue expansion with mass spectrometry-compatible fluorescence imaging, laser capture microdissection, and bottom-up proteomics to achieve simulta
