Image of the Week
And it's time for HuBMAP's Image of the Week! This week's image was generated by Julia Laskin's student Hang Hu at TTD Purdue. It represents a new segmentation method they developed to make segmentation and region of interest maps of the mass spec imaging data from mouse kidney, but it can be used on any tissue type. It will really help you map out your interest in tissue maps!
