This challenge calls for the development of innovative methods to understand the functional and dynamic role of the tumour microenvironment (TME) over time. It seeks to go beyond static spatial mapping and uncover how the TME evolves during tumour development and therapy response, aiming to reshape cancer treatment strategies by preventing resistance and improving outcomes.
