  "summary": "Tumors contain diverse non-cancer cells that constitute the tumor microenvironment; thus, identifying which cells are cancerous is a foundational and critical first step in cancer research. However, to our knowledge, no transcriptome-based classifier has been trained using pathologist-defined annotations from matched H&E images at single-cell resolution. Moreover, few tools can be shared across…",
