Fun fact: Apparently here's the image from a presentation @jay.bsky.team gave to Twitter, representing the Twitter bird freed from a closed platform to fly in Bluesky's open ecosystem.

DeepCellTypes from Van Valen Lab, a new language-informed vision model, leverages the power of AI to accurately identify cell types in spatial proteomics data across diverse datasets and imaging platforms. 🧪https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.11.02.621624v2.full.pdf+html

ROSIE by Wu et al. is one of the promising advancements in the field, using AI to predict multiplex protein biomarkers from H&E images.🧪

Wonderful work by Punovuori et al.—They demonstrate that the interplay between partial EMT states and cancer-associated fibroblasts significantly enhances tumor aggressiveness in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. 🧪
