Translational regulation plays a critical role in shaping cellular states and functions, yet approaches for spatially resolved translatome profiling at single-cell resolution remain limited. Here, we develop Ribosome-tethered In Situ Sequencing (Ribo-ISS), an imaging-based spatial translatomics technology that enables high-throughput mapping of ribosome-associated mRNAs in intact tissues. Ribo-ISS integrates ribosome-dependent molecular anchoring with multiplexed in situ sequencing, allowing specific detection of translation-associated transcripts without genetic manipulation or exogenous ribosome labeling. We demonstrate that Ribo-ISS achieves high specificity and enables single-cell spatial translatome profiling in mouse brain, accurately recapitulating major cell types and their anatomical organization. Applied to a sleep deprivation model, Ribo-ISS simultaneously resolved transcriptional and translational changes, revealing extensive transcription-translation uncoupling and distinct cell-type-specific translational responses. Ribo-ISS provides a scalable framework for investigating spatially organized translational programs and expands the capability of spatial omics toward understanding gene regulation beyond transcription.

As an imaging-based spatial translatomics technology, it resolves translatome profiling at single-cell resolution. This scalable approach reveals spatial translational programs, extending spatial omics beyond transcription.

"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.
