SCALE:Scalable Conditional Atlas-Level Endpoint transport for virtual cell perturbation prediction

SCALE is a conditional transport model that treats cells as unordered sets to predict treated cell populations without requiring cell-level matching. It uses a shared set-aware encoder and a conditional DiT backbone to learn latent transport, enabling endpoint supervision that is directly delta-aligned. Across diverse perturbation types—including genetic, chemical, developmental, and immune—SCALE accurately recovers gene‑expression changes, response directions, and population structure, outperforming competing methods on CRISPR data and successfully prioritizing cytokines that elicit distinct immune responses.

Generalizable single-cell perturbation response prediction using energy-guided flow matching

The paper introduces scEGFlow, an energy‑guided flow matching framework that predicts how single cells respond to perturbations by modeling continuous transitions from control to perturbed states. It uses conditional flow matching and condition‑specific energy gradients to dynamically adjust predictions without retraining, achieving superior performance on imaging and transcriptomic benchmarks, even for unseen perturbations or limited data. The method preserves cellular manifold geometry, heterogeneity, and accurately recapitulates gene‑expression regulatory patterns.
