Spatial transcriptomic profiling (Visium) of meningioma

GSE313694Maas et al., 2026

Heidelberg snRNA-seq + spatial cohort

The most methodologically current paired dataset in the registry (Maas, Sahm et al., Nature Genetics 2026, PMID 41663806): 26 meningiomas profiled by single-nucleus RNA-seq and 42 by Visium spatial transcriptomics, spanning WHO grades and DNA methylation classes. The series description reports a decrease in myeloid cell proportion from grade 1 to grade 3, a concrete, testable finding for anyone reusing this data. Genuinely multi-modal at the single-cell/spatial resolution level, which very few meningioma datasets in this registry achieve simultaneously.

All 42 samples, each spot plotted at its true tissue position, side by side -- the largest single viewer artifact in this inventory · 239,399 cells, 25 genes, 42 samples merged.

Spots are plotted at true tissue position per sample, not merged into one shared coordinate space -- the 42 samples are independent tissue sections side by side, not directly overlaid. This is the largest single dataset in this inventory's viewer (239,399 spots across 42 samples).
