Researchers have developed HEXST, a novel Transformer model designed to predict gene expression from histology slides. This model addresses limitations in existing methods by accounting for the hexagonal sampling patterns common in spatial transcriptomics platforms and employing a contrast-sensitive objective to preserve spatial heterogeneity. HEXST demonstrates superior performance across multiple datasets compared to current state-of-the-art approaches. AI
