Researchers have developed a method to predict single-cell spatial gene expression directly from H&E stained histology images. By adapting pathology foundation models, their approach significantly improves prediction accuracy compared to standard methods, achieving state-of-the-art performance. The study highlights that while morphology-based inference has limitations, it can successfully recover biologically meaningful spatial expression patterns, particularly for spatially variable genes.
