Link: youtu.be/OxdFtmBL30E?si=vNLS… Today, @AnthropicAI have released @claudeai Fable 5 & Mythos 5. What does it mean for Biomedical and Clinical Research and Patient Care ? I have prepared a very short overview... Here is the Preview... 1. Autonomous single-cell genomics — the model assembled a cross-species atlas spanning 138 species and trained a method that beat a recently published one at ~1/100th the size. 2. Therapeutic design — running the protein-design loop end-to-end (binding sites, tool selection, failure recovery), with 9 of 14 targets yielding strong candidates. Immune-checkpoint and receptor-signaling biology sit right at the center of blood-cancer immunotherapy. 3. Novel hypotheses — the first model to consistently propose original, testable mechanisms; experts preferred them ~80% of the time in blinded comparison, and one was independently corroborated. 4. The honest part — these capabilities are dual-use, which is exactly why many biology/chemistry queries are deliberately gated. I think the safeguards, and the honest caveats around unpublished results, matter as much as the breakthroughs. My take: the frontier isn't replacing the biologist or the biostatistician. It's raising the resolution at which we can design, hypothesize, and test — and our job is to verify fast enough to keep up. #AIinMedicine #ComputationalBiology #SingleCell #Genomics #Hematology #Oncology #DrugDiscovery #PrecisionMedicine #MountSinai #AIGenomics #TranslationalMedicine #PrecisionOncology #Hematology #MPN #ASCO26 #SingleCell #SpatialOmics #DrugDiscovery #Bioinformatics #GenomicsAI #ClinicalAI #PrecisionOncology #Hematology #MPN #MRD #FoundationModels #FDA #Elsa #HALO #ChatGPT #OpenEvidence #MountSinai #AACR2026 #EHA2026 #ASCO2026 #Tempus #Anthropic #ClaudeForLifeSciences #ClaudeForHealthcare #AgenticAI #Bomedemstat #Rusfertide #INCA033989 #DrugDiscovery #BioNeMo #BiomedicalAI

Vizgen® to Advance Cell Atlases with New Volumetric Tissue Mapping Spatial Data and Services at HCA 2026 Meeting Ahead of the Human Cell Atlas General Meeting in Boston (June 16-18), Vizgen is debuting a 3D Volumetric Tissue Mapping dataset in human neurodegenerative brain tissue, paired with an amyloid beta marker associated with Alzheimer's disease. Thin sections flatten the biology that matters most: cell neighborhoods, vasculature, immune infiltration, disease microenvironments. Volumetric Tissue Mapping captures all of it, and runs on the MERSCOPE Ultra™ Platform researchers already have. Alongside the data, we're launching: → Volumetric Tissue Mapping services through Vizgen Lab Services → A new Cell Atlasing Hub with public datasets, case studies, and direct access to Vizgen Genomics Specialists Biology is three-dimensional. Cell atlases should be, too. See you in Boston. Read the full announcement: hubs.ly/Q04ksgPM0 #HCA2026 #SpatialBiology #CellAtlas #MERFISH #Spatialomics

Lineage tracing is entering a new era. For decades, developmental biology has asked a deceptively simple question: Where did this cell come from, and where is it going? A comprehensive new review in Cell Stem Cell synthesizes the field into three major technological pillars that are now reshaping how we study development, regeneration, aging, and cancer. 1. Genetic marker-based lineage tracing The classical approach uses recombinases such as Cre, Flp, and Dre to permanently label specific cell populations and follow their descendants over time. Modern dual-recombinase logic systems (AND/OR gates) now allow highly precise targeting of rare cell states, while Brainbow and MADM technologies enable clonal-resolution analysis of cell fate decisions. 2. Synthetic barcode lineage tracing CRISPR transformed lineage tracing from tracking dozens of clones to tracking millions. Systems such as GESTALT, LINNAEUS, DARLIN, KP-Tracer, CHYRON, SMALT, and PEtracer generate evolving genetic barcodes that accumulate over time, allowing reconstruction of detailed phylogenetic trees while simultaneously profiling transcriptomes and epigenomes at single-cell resolution. These approaches revealed: • Early hematopoietic fate bias before transcriptomic commitment • Tumor evolutionary trajectories • Developmental founder-cell relationships • Polyclonal-to-monoclonal transitions during tumorigenesis 3. Natural lineage tracing Human tissues cannot be genetically engineered. The field is therefore increasingly exploiting endogenous lineage recorders: • Somatic SNVs • Mitochondrial DNA mutations • DNA methylation epimutations Recent methods such as MethylTree, EPI-Clone, MAESTER, and SMART-PTA reconstruct lineage histories directly from human tissues without experimental labeling. The next frontier: lineage × multi-omics × space The most exciting trend is integration. Lineage information is now being combined with: • scRNA-seq • chromatin accessibility • DNA methylation • spatial transcriptomics • in situ imaging This enables direct linkage of cell ancestry → molecular state → tissue location → functional fate. For aging biology, cancer evolution, regenerative medicine, and precision oncology, lineage tracing is rapidly evolving from a descriptive tool into a framework for predicting and manipulating cell fate. The future may not simply tell us where a cell came from—it may tell us where it is going next. 📖 Kang et al.

The next leap in AI for medicine isn't bigger datasets — it's spatially resolved ones. On June 1 at NY Tech Week, we're bringing together six leading scientists from Yale, Columbia, IAS Princeton, MSK, and KAUST — including Arnold Levine, @RongFan8 , Benjamin Greenbaum, Raul Rabadan, Xin Gao, and @ZongmingMa — for a frank panel on how spatial multi-omics is building the next generation of tissue-level foundation models. Five questions on the table: 1. What is spatial multi-omics, and why does it change AI in biology? 2. Can spatial data close the ancestry gap in precision medicine? 3. What does a 100M-cell virtual tissue model unlock? 4. How does AI move from molecule to clinical context? 5. What's the real path to the clinic — and what's still in the way? Fireside live Q&A. In-person seats are full; join us free online. 🗓 June 1 · 11 AM ET → Register: lnkd.in/gFSBy7Vf #NYTechWeek #SpatialOmics #AI #DrugDiscovery
