Duke-NUS scientists build new virtual tissue tools to map how cells talk in disease

Duke-NUS Medical School
Peer-Reviewed Publication

New simulator and computational tool generate realistic “virtual tissues” and map cell-to-cell “conversations” from spatial transcriptomics data.

The tools could accelerate AI-driven discoveries in cancer, brain disorders and precision medicine by revealing which genes control how cells interact.

PRTS: predicting single-cell spatial transcriptomics from histological images

Research
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A team led by Prof. Fei Ling from South China University of Technology developed PRTS (Pathology-driven Reconstruction of Transcriptomic States), a deep learning framework that predicts single-cell-resolution spatial transcriptomics directly from H&E-stained histology images.
