Heatmap-seeded spatially grounded query Transformers improve astrocyte soma detection across Immunostains and scan resolutions

<title>Abstract</title> Background: Automated astrocyte quantification in human immunohistochemistry (IHC) is hindered by stain variability and dense clustering. Standard Transformers often miss faint somata due to agnostic initialization, while CNNs struggle with overlapping pro...
