THE AI ANGLE
Decoding spatial signals that direct immune cell recruitment

Researchers built an AI model called SPACER that uses spatial transcriptomics to study immune cell movement into tumors. The model showed that local antigen presentation draws T cells in, while mucin proteins block them. These findings offer scientists identifiable targets to help predict immunotherapy responses.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
A clear topic for discussion is whether modeling tissue neighborhoods makes AI more biologically useful than standard black-box algorithms.
