Researchers have developed Tessera, a new framework for representation learning in spatial transcriptomics. This method aims to capture both molecular signals and the spatial organization of cells within a tissue microenvironment. Unlike previous approaches, Tessera incorporates a geometric inductive bias that models relative cell-cell relationships, preserving directional context and achieving translation invariance. The framework has demonstrated superior performance over existing spatial foundation models in representation quality and zero-shot generalization to larger contexts. AI
