Now online! 4D spatiotemporal landscape of mitochondrial phenotypes across cellular states unlocked through representation learning

4D spatiotemporal landscape of mitochondrial phenotypes across cellular states unlocked through representation learning
Agarwal et al. introduce MitoSpace, a self-supervised model trained on 4D lattice light-sheet microscopy data. The model resolves drug-induced mitochondrial phenotypes without labels, predicts membrane potential from morphology and dynamics, generalizes to unseen perturbations and lung organoids, and shows that representation quality improves progressively from 2D to 4D.

RNA innate immunity constitutes a barrier for interspecies chimerism
Interspecies PSC co-culture induces horizontal RNA transfer that activates innate immunity in “winner” mouse cells, a response that is alleviated by Mavs deletion, thereby enhancing “loser” human PSC survival and chimerism.
