Merged summary

TL;DR - Virtual Tissues (VirTues) is a foundation model for analyzing spatial proteomics across heterogeneous datasets and marker panels. It matters because it supports tissue analysis from cellular features to patient-level stratification within one framework.

  • Captures tissue organization across multiple spatial scales.
  • Reconstructs markers and supports cell segmentation and typing.
  • Annotates cellular niches and enables spatial biomarker discovery.
  • Supports patient stratification across differing panels and datasets.
