An interpretable AI model decodes the rules of cell recruitment to specific destinations
An interpretable AI model decodes the rules of cell recruitment to specific destinations
Nature Biomedical Engineering, Published online: 19 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41551-026-01803-7An interpretable neural network, SPACER, learns the rules of cellular recruitment directly from tissue spatial transcriptomics data. Analyses of multiple cancers reveal a role for the local antigen presentation machinery and tumour mucins in T cell recruitment to tumours, and a mouse model of severe checkpoint inhibitor-induced myocarditis identifies CD4+ T cells as key disease effectors.

An interpretable AI model decodes the rules of cell recruitment to specific destinations
Mucins—sugar-coated proteins produced by many cancers—may keep T cells away from tumors; higher levels were linked to poorer checkpoint inhibitor responses in melanoma and gastric cancer datasets.
AI tool reveals what attracts immune cells to tumors and what keeps them away
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and collaborating institutions in Texas developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that helps explain how immune cells find their way to specific locations in the body and why they avoid others.

![Figure 3. (a) Analysis of structures from experiments deposited in the PDB from GlycoNavi (https://glyconavi.org/TCarp/Statistics/) shows that only 6873 proteins contain N-glycans, for a total of 41,951 glycan structures. Of those 51% consist of only one monosaccharide, with less than 2054 structures containing 7 or more monosaccharide units. (b) Qualitative diagram illustrating different dynamic time-scales of biological systems in function of their size. Experiments relevant to structural biology are represented in the graph within their corresponding range of application in space/time. The design of the diagram was inspired by a similar example in Ref. [66] (c) 3D structure of the human growth hormone (hGH) from PDB 1HGU (cyan), with N-glycans at N93, N99, and N104 reconstructed with Re-Glyco Ensemble [67] using 50 frames selected from the MD structural ensemble, rendered with surface and sticks in white. The type of N-glycans are represented by SNFG symbols [41] in 2D and with the corresponding GlyTouCan [42] IDs. (d) An example of the N-glycans repertoire that can be found at highly exposed sites such as N93, N(98)99, N104. The relative populations of the corresponding glycoforms can be determined by glycoproteomics. (e) Relative populations of the N-glycans at different sites introduced by mutagenesis in Ref. [68]. Occupancy is shown in pink and the absence of glycans in grey. The length of the bars correspond to 100%. Glycosylation at positions N98 and N99 is mutually exclusive because of site proximity. (f) Structure of the complex of hGH (cyan) with the hGH receptor (white with transparent surface and cartoons) from PDB 1A22 indicating the surface area where protein–protein interactions occur and that needs to remain unoccupied for function. The orientation of the hGH in 1.c and 1.f is the same.
