New tissue atlas aims to help AI understand cancer

THE AI ANGLE
Learning spatial cell patterns to predict disease progression and treatment response

Researchers created spora, an open collection of spatial proteomics data combining over 13,000 tissue images from multiple hospitals and imaging platforms. The database standardizes protein annotations and pairs molecular measures with routine pathology slides. This allows scientists to build and benchmark computational models on shared data without spending years organizing files from separate laboratories.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
Computational models often succeed on data from a single hospital but fail when tested across different imaging equipment and patient groups.
