RamanOmics presents a multimodal imaging approach tying label-free Raman microscopy to spatial and single-nucleus transcriptomics, promising nondestructive mapping of cellular states.

Raman Microscopy as a Potential Basis for Non-Invasive Assessment of the Burden of Senescent Cells
Key Takeaways
  • The study developed RamanOmics combining hyperspectral Raman imaging with single-nucleus RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics.
  • A conserved lipid-linked Raman signature was identified that marks p21-positive senescent cells across tissues.
  • A machine-learning derived multimodal barcode enabled nondestructive in situ identification of senescent cells in mouse tissues.
