@DiegoB_Piza Hi Julio, this is very cool! This is also, what Kathy @TheCullenLab has been claiming in Rhesus monkeys (cf:

@DiegoB_Piza Does the position of the red dots correspond to the position of cells in the Hippocampus at all? I guess not. This is probably a reading of all spiking activity from the marmoset hippocampus? I need to finish reading this paper thanks for sharing.

@DiegoB_Piza It is spiking. When gaze was at that position the cell fired a spike. The recording site is not shown. The spikes always fall on the gaze trajectory.

CSS Tip! 🐳 You can add little details like this scale down on scroll effect with scroll-driven animations and some sticky positioning 🤙 section { animation: scale-down; animation-timeline: view(); animation-range: exit; } @​keyframes scale-down { to { scale 0.8; } ] In this smaller example, you can lean into using the position to drive an animation that scales itself down as it leaves the viewport (Seen on the Apple Vision Pro site 🍏) The nice thing here is that if you don't have scroll-driven animations, the user still gets a good experience ✨ So how do you do it? There isn't much to it header { transform-origin: 50% 0%; animation: scale-down both ease-in; animation-timeline: view(); animation-range: exit; view-timeline: --header; } @​keyframes scale-down { to { scale: 0.8 0.8; } } That's it. The layout makes use of position: sticky so that the element stays in the shot whilst you scroll the page. As it leaves the page, it scales down inside the 🫶 The other smol animation here is fading the overlay on the video out 😎 Real easy. You may notice the view-timeline you defined above for the 👀 header { view-timeline: --header; } You have a pseudoelement on the text content of the header that lives inside a header > section::before { background: hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.75); opacity: 1; animation: fade both linear; animation-timeline: --header; animation-range: exit-crossing 0% exit 0%; } @​keyframes fade { to { opacity: 0; } } You use a slightly smaller range on this with exit-crossing to fade it out before you start the scale down animation 🤏 That's it! Thought this smaller example would be easier to grok for people 🙏 It's also covered with JavaScript if you really want it for your sites 🤙 CodePen.IO link below 👇

🔬 Exciting News! Our manuscript, "scGPT: toward building a foundation model for single-cell multi-omics using generative AI" is now finally published in Nature Methods (Nature Methods) 🎉 !!! (Re-)Introducing scGPT: A transformative foundation model engineered for single-cell omics analysis. Developed through the analysis of over 33 million human cells, scGPT sets a new benchmark for application versatility, offering both fine-tuning and zero-shot capabilities. Since its preprint in May 2023, scGPT has significantly impacted the field, evidenced by 13K+ installations, 600+ GitHub stars 🌟, and 40+ citations before its official publication! scGPT has been validated by numerous benchmark studies as a leading foundation model in single-cell analysis. Its pre-trained embeddings extend its utility beyond single-cell studies, enhancing a variety of downstream tasks including protein enrichment and genetic perturbation predictions. Some key updates lately: ---Expanded zero-shot applications for efficient reference mapping and integration, now with CellXGene census integration. ---Advanced perturbation analysis capabilities, including genome-scale perturb-seq data analysis and bulk sequencing data generalization. ---Upgraded scGPT package, offering versatile model loading compatible with PyTorch and flash-attn, for both GPU and CPU. ---Cloud-based scGPT applications for reference mapping, cell annotation, and gene regulatory network inference are available on ---Integration with Hugging Face for easier model training. Limitations: scGPT is an early foray into foundation models for single-cell omics, facing challenges like limited zero-shot learning in some tasks, pretraining constraints, data quality issues, and evaluation limitations. See our Supplementary Notes for details. 🚀 Future Work? Short-Term Goals: 1. Releasing a Mouse Model for broader analysis. 2. Developing a comprehensive evaluation suite for foundation models in single-cell analysis. 3. Creating a foundation model for single-cell spatial omics. 4. Enhancing zero-shot capacity by integrating scGPT with RAG (e.g., knowledge graphs). Long-Term Goals: 1. Expanding scGPT for comprehensive single-cell multi-omics analysis. 2. Developing an in-silico perturbation model for predicting genetic perturbation effects. 3. Merging scGPT with multi-modal genomic sequence models for a deeper understanding of cell biology. 📚 Access the paper on Nature Methods: 🔬Preprint in Bioarixv: 💻 All our codes/data/weights are open source: Wholehearted congratulations to all the authors, especially the two co-first authors, Haotian (Haotian Cui ) and Chloe (ChloeXWang), who are really the emerging superstars in AI and biology!

This video is one of the first times I thought biology was “cool.” It shows a neutrophil cell chasing a bacterium. Originally recorded in the 1950s by David Rogers at Vanderbilt University, the video gave me a deeper appreciation for life, even at the level of a single cell, because the neutrophil's movements seem so intentful, purposeful, aware. It wasn’t until recently, though, that I actually tried to demystify the neutrophil’s movements and understand how they happen. Here's what I learned: 1. The neutrophil's surface has thousands of protein receptors. Molecules secreted by the bacteria collide with these receptors. When that happens, the proteins change shape, slightly, and initiate a signaling cascade. 2. The neutrophil “knows” where to go because of a discrepancy in bound vs. unbound receptors. The side of the cell closest to the microbe will, probabilistically, have more "bound" receptors than the other side (because the molecules secreted by the microbe have a concentration gradient). This is how the neutrophil figures out which way to move. 3. Each bound receptor activates several G proteins located inside the cell membrane. Each G protein, in turn, switches on PI3K enzymes. In this way, the original signal is amplified; a single "activated" receptor might cause ~100 copies of PI3K to get switched on downstream. 4. The PI3K enzymes stick phosphates onto lipids in the cell membrane. The side of the neutrophil facing the bacterium now has more phosphates than the "back" side. Phosphate-binding proteins, such as GEF, accumulate and then recruit Rac, thus activating it. Rac, in turn, acts like a molecular switch, ultimately recruiting Arp2/3. (TL;DR: A bunch of proteins get activated, and the high phosphate concentration at the leading edge is the key signal for all this.) 5. At any given moment, the neutrophil has millions of actin molecules. These are the proteins used to build the cytoskeleton. Half of the actins are already “assembled” into filaments, but the other half are just floating around. Arp2/3 acts as a nucleator, grabbing onto actin and then starting a new cytoskeletal branch. More actin is assembled at the leading edge (where the Arp2/3 has accumulated), where they each push on the cell membrane with ~2 piconewtons of force. Hundreds of actin chains, pushing together, causes the cell to form protrusions. 6. The assembling actin chains push the cell at a speed of ~20 micrometers per minute (the length of about ten E. coli cells placed end-to-end.) As all of this is happening, another signaling cascade, nucleated at the back end of the cell, is dismantling actin filaments and recycling them. All this happens over a span of about 30 seconds. Much of this process is invisible; what we see, instead, is "just" a cell chasing its prey. But that's the wonderful thing about biology: A singular observation is usually more than enough fodder for a lifetime of work. The well is deep. There is always more to learn.
