Recent advances in pathology foundation models have enabled accurate prediction of spatial transcriptomics (ST) from routine H&E images. However, existing explainability methods for vision transformer...
MIST is a Multi‑context Spatial Transformer that predicts spatial gene expression from H&E images by adding two context pathways to a standard Transformer: a coordinate‑invariant local pathway that attends to spatial k‑nearest‑neighbor spots, and a slide pathway that broadcasts a whole‑slide summary to every spot. In intra‑cohort evaluation across six human organ cohorts, MIST improves mean Pearson correlation by 9.7%–11.6% over the strongest baseline for 10‑, 50‑, and 100‑gene panels, and achieves lower MSE and MAE. It also outperforms baselines in leave‑one‑organ‑out transfer, domain recovery, and reproduces spatial expression patterns of cancer‑marker genes.

RACR-MIL is a weakly‑supervised method for grading squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) from whole‑slide images, using an attention‑based multiple‑instance learning framework. It introduces a hybrid WSI graph to capture local tissue context and non‑local phenotypic dependencies, and applies rank‑ordering constraints on attention to prioritize higher‑grade tumor regions, mirroring pathologists’ diagnostic reasoning. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance, improving SCC grading accuracy by 3–9% over existing methods and up to 10% in tumor localization, and a pilot study showed pathologists reported increased grading efficiency in 60% of cases.
