Current diagnostic tools for heart transplant rejection rely heavily on histology, which often misses critical molecular details. A new study using subcellular spatial transcriptomics on cardiac biopsies from 62 recipients is changing the game go.nature.com/4cEGq7N @nebanovich.bsky.social

It’s more than a tan line or "little pink" on your shoulders—it’s a response to DNA changes.When UVB rays hit your skin, they can physically break the bonds in your DNA, effectively creating mutations & changes in your DNA. A suntan is really your body’s response to DNA mutation.
