Researchers have introduced CellWorld, a novel foundation model for spatial transcriptomics that shifts its prediction target from gene expression to latent cell representations. This approach aims to improve the transferability of representations by avoiding the direct reconstruction of assay-specific technical variations. The model was pre-trained on a large corpus of human cells, and experiments demonstrated that performance scales with model capacity and biological diversity, outperforming existing baselines on various benchmarks.
