How cells are arranged within tissue can reveal as much about disease as the cells themselves. When doctors examine a cancer tumor, for example, they don't just look at which cells are present; they also want to know how those cells are arranged and how they interact with each other. That's because the way cancer cells interact with neighboring immune cells can offer important clues about how a…
