Integration of hydrogel-based tissue expansion and mass spectrometry-based proteomics enables high spatial resolution analysis of global protein expression in tissues. Here, we introduce a filter-aided tissue expansion proteomics (FAXP) method with optimized hydrogel preparation and treatment steps for spatial proteomics analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens. Compared with our original ProteomEx method, FAXP, partially automated with robotics, exhibited 14.5-fold higher volumetric resolution, increased peptide yield leading to 250% more protein identifications, and 50% time consumption for sample preparation. We demonstrated its application in clinical colorectal tissue samples. We further integrated it with laser capture microdissection for proteomic analysis of subcellular organelles.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
