Spatial transcriptomics technology has revolutionized our understanding of cell types and tissue organization, opening new possibilities for researchers to explore transcript distributions at subcellular levels. However, existing methods have limitations in resolution, sensitivity, or speed. To overcome these challenges, we introduce SPRINTseq (Spatially Resolved and signal-diluted Next-generation Targeted sequencing), an innovative in situ sequencing strategy that combines hybrid block coding and molecular dilution strategies. Our method enables fast and sensitive high-resolution data acquisition, as demonstrated by recovering over 142 million transcripts from 453,843 cells from four mouse brain coronal slices in less than two days. Using this advanced technology, we uncover the cellular and subcellular molecular architecture of Alzheimer's disease, providing unprecedented insights into abnormal cellular behaviors and their subcellular mRNA distribution. This improved spatial transcriptomics technology holds great promise for exploring complex biological processes and disease mechanisms.
