Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is a major cause of global mortality with high levels heterogeneity. To explore geospatial interactions in tumor ecosystems, we integrated 2,138 spatial transcriptomic regions-of-interest (ROIs) 152,423 single-cell expression profiles across 226 GC samples from 121 patients. We observed pervasive expression-based intratumor heterogeneity, recapitulating progression through spatially localized and functionally ordered subgroups associated specific immune...

( Lancet . 2019;393:241–252) Mortality for both mother and child have been falling at impressive rates in China over the past 2 decades. Nationwide, maternal mortality dropped from 111.0 per 100,000 livebirths 1990 to 21.8 2015. However, has varied substantially among counties might also vary widely counties. Identifying experiencing less progress could help guide Chinese government allocating extra resources as needed meet Millennium Development Goal 5 (MDG 5) of decreasing rate by 75%...
