Biology is by far the most advanced technology on the planet, self-assembling nanobots that can unpack a single cell into a space-faring civilization in a few billion years.

Andy Moore at HHMI | Janelia created this time-lapse video that shows the dynamic structure of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) within a kidney cell. As you can see, the ER is very densely packed near the nucleus, which is shown in bright orange color at the center of the cell and is less dense towards the edges of the cell. Videos like these can give us a more complete understanding of the structure and function of the ER and this knowledge could be the basis for future research on how protein and lipid production within the cell affect human health and disease.

The Bitter Lesson for Biology — Adam Green on Scaling Laws for Virtual Cells In this episode, the founder of Markov Biosciences, Adam Green, explains the "bitter lesson" for biology, the idea borrowed from Richard Sutton that large unbiased datasets and the right training objective tend to outcompete models with hard-coded rules and human priors. We talk a lot about virtual cells, sources of bias in data, and his evidence that virtual cells pre-trained on plain observational data show clean scaling laws, getting monotonically better at predicting unseen perturbations as the models grow, and beating a state-of-the-art model built specifically for that task. Our interview was about 3 hours long, but cut to 1.5 hours. My main goal was to understand Adam's perspective on virtual cells and his goal to "solve biology." Search for "The New Biology" on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. Timestamps: 00:00 — Cold open 01:58 — Clinical predictions from a virtual cell 05:38 — What is a "virtual cell"? 08:01 — The problems with single-cell RNA-seq 11:31 — The urns analogy 19:54 — Observational vs. perturbation 23:29 — The bitter lesson for biology 29:06 — Geometric Plackett-Luce 38:27 — Ablations and loss function 47:23 — Cells as specimens 59:26 — Antibody-Drug conjugates 1:11:16 — Will we ever understand the cell fully?

How does an embryo reliably "compute" its form - "cell by cell" - using only local interactions and mechanics, yet produce a precise global body plan? I’m excited to share our Nature Methods paper "MultiCell: geometric learning in multicellular development", presenting #AIxBiology research led by Haiqian Yang and the result of a great collaboration with Ming Guo, George Roy, Tomer Stern, Anh Nguyen and Dapeng Bi. A long-standing challenge in developmental biology is to predict how thousands of cells collectively self-organize as tissues fold, divide, and rearrange. In MultiCell, we represent a developing embryo as a dual graph that unifies two complementary views of tissue mechanics with single-cell resolution: cells as moving points (granular) and cells as a connected foam (junction network). This lets the model learn dynamics from both geometry and cell–cell connectivity. On whole-embryo 4D light-sheet movies of Drosophila gastrulation (~5,000 cells), our model predicts key cell behaviors and the timing of events, including junction loss, rearrangements, and divisions with high accuracy, at single-cell resolution. Beyond prediction, the same representation supports robust time alignment across embryos and offers interpretable activation maps that highlight the morphogenetic "drivers" of development. The broader goal is a foundation for cell-by-cell forecasting in more complex tissues, and eventually for detecting subtle dynamical signatures of disease. Kudos to the team for this inspiring collaboration with brilliant researchers to push the boundary of AI for biology! Citation: Yang, H., Roy, G., Nguyen, A.Q., Buehler, M.J., et al. MultiCell: geometric learning in multicellular development. Nature Methods (2025), DOI: 10.1038/s41592-025-02983-x Code/data links are in the manuscript.
