Interpretable spherical geometry of single-cell state transitions from dominant principal components

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander Szalay | Authors: Long Yuan, Xuyang Li, My Le, Stephanie C Hicks, Atul Deshpande, Janis M Taube and Alexander S Szalay | Summary: Single-cell RNA-seq atlases are commonly explored with nonlinear embeddings that preserve neighborhoods but provide limited coordinate-level interpretation. We asked whether projecting the dominant principal components (PCs) of single-cell gene […]

Wnt/beta-catenin signaling regulates Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) receptors in central nervous system endothelial cells

Kavli Affiliate: Jeremy Nathans | Authors: Jeremy Nathans, Yanshu Wang, Ningyu Zhu, Amir Rattner and Philip M Smallwood | Summary: In CNS endothelial cells (ECs), VEGF signaling promotes vascular permeability, and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling reduces vascular permeability by controlling the gene expression program for the blood-brain barrier. Here we show, using genetic mosaics, that, in mouse […]

SARAF represses the mild hypothermia response through the regulation of JUN

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Beer | Authors: Kijin Jang, Kevin Ostacolo, Valdimar Sveinsson, Michael A Beer, Kimberley Jade Anderson and Hans Tomas Bjornsson | Summary: Abstract The mild hypothermia response (MHR) is a conserved mammalian cytoprotective program activated upon exposure to mild hypothermia (32 °C) that contributes to the neuroprotective effects of therapeutic hypothermia following hypoxic […]

Modeling Patient-Reported Pain Trajectories with Frequent Minimum and Maximum Scores

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Lindquist | Authors: Yanxi Liu, Richard E. Harris, Daniel Clauw, Emine Bayman, Andrew Leroux and Martin A. Lindquist | Summary: Chronic pain is a widespread public health issue that imposes substantial health, emotional, and economic burdens on individuals and communities. Because pain is subjective and lacks objective biomarkers, it is typically measured […]

VITAL-3D: Volumetric Single-Cell Quantification Reveals Microenvironment-Dependent Drug Responses in Breast Cancer

Kavli Affiliate: Denis Wirtz | Authors: Pei-Hsun Wu, Chongguang Jin, Tiffany Chu, Qiming Zhang and Denis Wirtz | Summary: Preclinical drug evaluation relies heavily on two-dimensional (2D) monolayer assays, which fail to recapitulate the structural and functional complexity of the tumor microenvironment and may therefore misrepresent therapeutic efficacy. Here, we present VITAL (Volumetric Imaging-based Toxicity […]

Spatial Transcriptomics As Rasterized Image Tensors (STARIT) characterizes cell states with subcellular molecular heterogeneity

Kavli Affiliate: Jean Fan | Authors: Dee Velazquez, Caleb Hallinan, Roujin An, Kalen Clifton and Jean Fan | Summary: Motivation Imaging-based spatially resolved transcriptomics (imSRT) technologies provide high-throughput molecular-resolution spatial characterization of genes within cells. Conventional analysis methods to identify cell-types and states in imSRT data rely on gene count matrices derived from tallying the […]

A transition state-like acylenzyme conformation distinguishes carbapenemase activity in class A β-lactamases

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Beer | Authors: Michael Beer, Jim Spencer and Adrian J Mulholland | Summary: Carbapenems are the most potent β-lactams, key antibiotics for healthcare-associated infections by Gram-negative bacteria and evade hydrolysis by most β-lactamases; but are increasingly threatened by emergence of enzymes exhibiting hydrolytic activity towards them. Of the four recognised β-lactamase subclasses, […]
