Title: Central-to-Local Adaptive Generative Diffusion Framework for Improving Gene Expression Prediction in Data-Limited Spatial Transcriptomics

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.26827v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatial Transcriptomics (ST) provides spatially resolved gene expression profiles within intact tissue architecture, enabling molecular analysis in histological context. However, the high cost, limited throughput, and restricted data sharing of ST experiments result in severe data scarcity, constraining the development of robust computational models. To address this limitation, we present a Central-to-Local adaptive generative diffusion framework
