Single-nucleus transcriptomic studies have revealed glial cell states associated with Alzheimers disease; however, these nuclei are dissociated from the complex architecture of the human neocortex. Here, we successfully performed an unbiased distance-based analytic strategy on spatially-registered transcriptomic data. Leveraging immunohistochemistry in the same tissue section, our analyses prioritized SERPINA3 and other genes, such as metallothioneins, as altered in the vicinity of neuritic amyloid plaques. Results were validated at the protein level by immunofluorescence, highlighting that a reactive SERPINA3+ astrocyte subtype, Ast.5, plays a role in the plaque microenvironment.

"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.
