SUMMARY:A cell atlas foundation model for scalable search of similar human cells - Kevin Spinicci
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we discuss the paper “A cell atlas foundation model for scalable search of similar human cells” by Graham Heimberg et.al.\, Nature\, 2024 at the Journal Club. \nAbstract \n\n\nSingle-cell RNA sequencing has profiled hundreds of millions of human cells across organs\, diseases\, development and perturbations to date. Mining these growing atlases could reveal cell–disease associations\, identify cell states in unexpected tissue contexts and relate in vivo biology to in vitro models. These require a common measure of cell similarity across the body and an efficient way to search. Here we develop SCimilarity\, a metric-learning framework to learn a unified and interpretable representation that enables rapid queries of tens of millions of cell profiles from diverse studies for cells that are transcriptionally similar to an input cell profile or state. We use SCimilarity to query a 23.4-million-cell atlas of 412 single-cell RNA-sequencing studies for macrophage and fibroblast profiles from interstitial lung disease1 and reveal similar cell profiles across other fibrotic diseases and tissues. The top scoring in vitro hit for the macrophage query was a 3D hydrogel system2\, which we experimentally demonstrated reproduces this cell state. SCimilarity serves as a foundation model for single-cell profiles that enables researchers to query for similar cellular states across the human body\, providing a powerful tool for generating biological insights from the Human Cell Atlas.

SUMMARY:Method for cycle detection in sparse\, irregularly sampled\, long-term neuro-behavioral timeseries - Brenda Gavina
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we discuss the paper “Method for cycle detection in sparse\, irregularly sampled\, long-term neuro-behavioral timeseries: Basis pursuit denoising with polynomial detrending of long-term\, inter-ictal epileptiform activity” by Irena Balzekas et.al.\, Plos Com.\, 2024. \nAbstract \nNumerous physiological processes are cyclical\, but sampling these processes densely enough to perform frequency decomposition and subsequent analyses can be challenging. Mathematical approaches for decomposition and reconstruction of sparsely and irregularly sampled signals are well established but have been under-utilized in physiological applications. We developed a basis pursuit denoising with polynomial detrending (BPWP) model that recovers oscillations and trends from sparse and irregularly sampled timeseries. We validated this model on a unique dataset of long-term inter-ictal epileptiform discharge (IED) rates from human hippocampus recorded with a novel investigational device with continuous local field potential sensing. IED rates have well established circadian and multiday cycles related to sleep\, wakefulness\, and seizure clusters. Given sparse and irregular samples of IED rates from multi-month intracranial EEG recordings from ambulatory humans\, we used BPWP to compute narrowband spectral power and polynomial trend coefficients and identify IED rate cycles in three subjects. In select cases\, we propose that random and irregular sampling may be leveraged for frequency decomposition of physiological signals.

SUMMARY:Constraining nonlinear time series modeling with the metabolic theory of ecology - Olive Cawiding
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we discuss the paper “Constraining nonlinear time series modeling with the metabolic theory of ecology” by S.B. Munch et.al.\, PNAS\, 2023. \nAbstract \nForecasting the response of ecological systems to environmental change is a critical challenge for sustainable management. The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) posits scaling of biological rates with temperature\, but it has had limited application to population dynamic forecasting. Here we use the temperature dependence of the MTE to constrain empirical dynamic modeling (EDM)\, an equation-free nonlinear machine learning approach for forecasting. By rescaling time with temperature and modeling dynamics on a “metabolic time step\,” our method (MTE-EDM) improved forecast accuracy in 18 of 19 empirical ectotherm time series (by 19% on average)\, with the largest gains in more seasonal environments. MTE-EDM assumes that temperature affects only the rate\, rather than the form\, of population dynamics\, and that interacting species have approximately similar temperature dependence. A review of laboratory studies suggests these assumptions are reasonable\, at least approximately\, though not for all ecological systems. Our approach highlights how to combine modern data-driven forecasting techniques with ecological theory and mechanistic understanding to predict the response of complex ecosystems to temperature variability and trends.

SUMMARY:Quantifying information accumulation encoded in the dynamics of biochemical signaling - Kang Min Lee
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we discuss the paper “Quantifying information accumulation encoded in the dynamics of biochemical signaling” by Y. Tang\, et.al\, Nature Communications\, 2021. \nAbstract \nCellular responses to environmental changes are encoded in the complex temporal patterns of signaling proteins. However\, quantifying the accumulation of information over time to direct cellular decision-making remains an unsolved challenge. This is\, in part\, due to the combinatorial explosion of possible configurations that need to be evaluated for information in time-course measurements. Here\, we develop a quantitative framework\, based on inferred trajectory probabilities\, to calculate the mutual information encoded in signaling dynamics while accounting for cell-cell variability. We use it to understand NFκB transcriptional dynamics in response to different immune threats\, and reveal that some threats are distinguished faster than others. Our analyses also suggest specific temporal phases during which information distinguishing threats becomes available to immune response genes; one specific phase could be mapped to the functionality of the IκBα negative feedback circuit. The framework is generally applicable to single-cell time series measurements\, and enables understanding how temporal regulatory codes transmit information over time.
