Pancreatic cancer systems atlas
PANCOSMOS
PANcreatic Cancer: an Organized Single-cell Map Of Spatial ecosystems
An integrated atlas connecting cellular states with spatial tissue ecosystems in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
>1 million single cells and nuclei 125 spatial sections

One atlas, two scales of tissue organization.

PANCOSMOS connects cellular identity with spatial tissue architecture across pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Explore conserved cell states, compare multicenter cohorts, map spatial neighborhoods, and relate tumor ecosystems to clinical outcome from one coordinated resource.

RESEARCH LENSES / 03

Move from a gene to a tissue ecosystem.

Start with a gene, cell population, or spatial module. PANCOSMOS provides linked views for expression, cellular composition, spatial proximity, and survival associations so that observations can be followed across biological scales.

A / CELL STATES

Resolve malignant and microenvironmental programs

Compare basal-like, classical-like, exocrine-like, and NRP-like tumor programs alongside immune and stromal populations.

B / SPATIAL ECOLOGY

Trace how cell states assemble in tissue

Examine spatial modules, colocalization patterns, immune niches, and ecotypes across Visium and Stereo-seq sections.
