MINT: Molecularly Informed Training with Spatial Transcriptomics Supervision for Pathology Foundation Models

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.07895v1 Announce Type: new Pathology foundation models on large-scale whole-slide images, yet they do not explicitly capture the underlying molecular state of the tissue. Spatial transcriptomics technologies bridge this gap by measuring gene expression in situ, offering a natural cross-modal supervisory signal. We propose MINT (Molecularly Informed
