Spatial transcriptomics and machine learning define exhaustion-like bone marrow T-cell islands associated with myeloma progression and clinical risk
- Using Xenium 5K spatial transcriptomics data across the myeloma disease spectrum (healthy controls, MGUS, smoldering myeloma, and multiple myeloma), we combined Gaussian mixture model spatial clustering with multi-layer perceptron machine learning to systematically characterize exhaustion-like T cells in the bone marrow microenvironment. We defined a novel spatial niche—exhaustion-like bone marrow T-cell islands (eBM-TIs)—and demonstrated their association with disease progression and clinical risk.
