CellPath-Bench is a new benchmark that evaluates whole-slide cellular representations in pathology foundation models (PFMs) by using 25 spatially aligned H&E–Xenium tissue sections from 11 organs and over 7 million cells. It introduces metrics such as Cell Representation Advantage (CRA) and Cell Representation Transferability (CRT) to assess how well frozen PFMs encode cell-type information and generalize across tissue sections, datasets, and organs. The benchmark was applied to 30 PFMs, revealing significant model-dependent differences in cell-type decodability and cross-domain generalization, and offers a standardized framework for auditing cellular information in frozen PFM representations.

arXiv:2602. 15253v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural scaling laws -- power-law relationships between loss, model size, and data -- have been extensively documented for language and vision transformers, yet their existence in single-cell genomics remains largely unexplored.

CellMSA introduces a novel single‑cell representation learning framework that leverages a multiple‑sequence‑alignment‑inspired context model. For each target cell, it retrieves relevant cells across batches and related cell types, summarizing cross‑cell patterns into a context‑dependent gene‑pair representation that is fed into a pair‑aware encoder. Pretraining on a massive human single‑cell corpus (≈109 million cells) and subsequent benchmarks demonstrate consistent performance gains over existing methods.

arXiv:2606. 20174v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a promising avenue for non-invasive multicancer early detection (MCED), in that, it can enable multiple cancer detection simultaneously from a single blood draw, with particular sensitivity to cancers that currently lack established screening programs.

The paper introduces scTrilemma, a latent-bottleneck variational autoencoder designed to address the representation trilemma in single‑cell RNA‑seq data: preserving biological identity and state, remaining robust to nuisance context, and retaining gene‑level variation for expression analysis. scTrilemma routes expression‑derived variation to the embedding, decoder, or prior, gating gene tokens by expression and conditioning the prior on unlabeled pseudo‑bulk context, all under a single reconstruction objective without target annotations. In zero‑shot evaluations on successive CZ CELLxGENE Census releases, scTrilemma simultaneously satisfies all three demands, maintaining biological state, differential‑expression, and pathway structure across multiple disease settings, and latent interventions show context can be removed with minimal impact on other demands.
