  "description": "Visium study of glioma organisation with 19 sections: 13 IDH-wildtype glioblastoma sections from five donor labels and six IDH-mutant sections (astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma) from six donor labels. Repeated regions of one donor (ZH881) are one donor label, not separate patients. All 15 original images in the author-linked Visium image archive were retrieved; 14 have geometrically supported counterparts among the GEO sections, and five GEO sections have no original in that archive. The two ZH881 bulk originals match the opposite GEO labels (ZH881_1A_bulk.tif matches GSM7596598 and ZH881_1B_bulk.tif matches GSM7596597); this is an inferred correspondence awaiting author confirmation, and the source labels are kept. In the public clinical Table S1, ZH1041_T1 is CODEX-only, the ZH1019 rows carry the patient ID ZH1007 although age, MGMT status and location differ, BWH23 is reported as IDH-mutant oligodendroglioma grade 4 and BWH28 as astrocytoma grade 2/3; treatment and recurrence are not reported. The Zenodo 12624860 H&E archive accompanies the CODEX data and is a separate serial-section resource, not the Visium image route.",

  "description": "Glioma anatomical-niche atlas with 32 Visium sections from 17 patients: 13 with glioblastoma (28 sections), three with IDH-mutant astrocytoma (two grade 3 and one grade 4; three sections) and one normal-brain control from a central-neurocytoma patient. Twenty-seven sections are FFPE and five fresh frozen. Four glioblastoma patients (SNU18, SNU21, SNU25 and SNU33) also have Xenium data and are not additional patients. Section SNU25B is assigned to SNU25 provisionally, following the publication and spot metadata, although the author slide table lists SNU26. The eight public Visium archive packages contain Space Ranger outputs and previews without a separately listed original scan, so they do not establish image coverage of all 32 sections. All five Xenium archives are inventoried, including SNU21's nested analysis archive; their morphology TIFFs are fluorescence images, not H&E. The data statement labels Zenodo 16505469 as Ravi 2022, but that record belongs to the Ravikumar/Al-Holou study (see related leads); which reused dataset the atlas analysed is unresolved. Released in Zenodo 17572905 (Visium) and 17622242 (Xenium), with a UCSC Cell Browser view.",

Processed spatial data are public through Mendeley Data (g67bkbnhhg.1) and Sanger's public FTP directory; metadata inspection of both spatial H5AD files confirms the eight patients and 16 sections. Both files copy the image metadata of all 16 sections, so together they hold 16 sections, not 32. Their images are previews (2,000 and 600 pixels). The paper documents treatment-naive surgery. Controlled raw reads (EGAD00001008781) are needed only for raw-data reuse; original H&E and calibration need an author release. Numerical matrix QC has not been done.",
