Summary: In this study, a rationalized deep learning (rDL) method was developed for improving optical microscopy imaging by addressing artifacts and noise. By incorporating prior knowledge of illumination patterns, the rDL method effectively denoises raw images and enhances the super-resolution information. Moreover, the method can perform self-supervised training using the continuity of noisy data itself, achieving results comparable to supervised methods.

Summary: DeepCAD-RT is a real-time denoising method for fluorescence time-lapse images, which uses self-supervised deep learning for noise suppression. Compared to traditional methods, DeepCAD-RT significantly reduces the number of network parameters, memory consumption, and processing time, and achieves high imaging signal-to-noise ratio with one-tenth of the photons. In various photon-limited experiments, DeepCAD-RT demonstrates its utility in morphological and functional interrogation of biological dynamics.

Summary: Individual cells can make decisions based on their internal state and surroundings, but it is still unclear how they can do this reliably. To investigate the information processing capacity of human cells, the researchers conducted a study on signaling responses and cellular state markers. The results showed that signaling nodes in the network displayed adaptive information processing, leading to heterogeneous growth factor responses and enabling cells to capture partially nonredundant information about their state. This demonstrates that individual cells have a large information processing capacity to accurately interpret growth factor concentration in the context of their cellular state and make decisions accordingly. The heterogeneity and complexity in signaling networks may have coevolved to facilitate specific and context-aware decision-making in multicellular settings.

These findings highlight the importance of studying dynamic T cell-tumor cell interactions in identifying optimal antitumor responses.

Summary: The research team developed a multi-parameter measurement system that can simultaneously quantify cell surface proteins, endocytosis activities, and metabolic dynamics of single live cells. This technique allows for analysis of 14 parameters under drug perturbations, enabling powerful clustering, correlation, and network analysis.

Summary: The study demonstrates that sublethal interactions from multiple CTL can accumulate over time and achieve tumor cell killing by additive cytotoxicity. Statistical modeling reveals that delivering three serial hits within decay intervals below 50 minutes can distinguish between tumor cell death or survival after recovery.

Summary: The study utilized a generative neural network and supervised machine learning to classify the metastatic efficiency of melanoma cells, revealing characteristic features of metastatic cells and validating these findings with live cell observations. It demonstrates how artificial intelligence can aid in identifying cell properties predictive of complex phenotypes and integrated cell functions that may be subtle and difficult for human experts to identify in raw imagery.

Summary: A new approach using microfabricated cell-repellent microwell arrays for rapid organoid formation from hiPSCs and endothelial cells was introduced, allowing real-time monitoring of differentiation processes with Raman spectroscopy and confocal light scattering spectroscopic microscopy. This approach significantly shortened the time required for protocol fine-tuning, and successfully cultured homogeneous liver organoids with main functional features of the human liver for potential liver therapy in humans.

Summary: Observing multiple molecular species simultaneously with high spatiotemporal resolution is crucial for comprehensive understanding of biological systems. The super-multiplex optical imaging technique breaks the color barrier of fluorescence, achieving multiplexing number over six in living systems. Integrated stimulated Raman and fluorescence microscopy enables super-multiplex imaging with high speed and temporal resolution of seconds, providing a powerful tool to elucidate spatiotemporal organization and interactions in biological systems.

Summary: To solve the problem of segmenting very small subcellular structures, the study uses a physics-based simulation approach to train neural networks and introduces a simulation-supervision method supported by physics-based GT. This approach addresses the issue of lacking ground truth data and improves the accuracy and speed of subcellular segmentation.

Summary: Intratumoral T cells in an exhausted state exhibit variable mobility within human tumors, with speed inversely correlated with local tumor density and differing by region and patient. This study reveals dynamic states of T cells in individual human tumors and suggests an active program in exhausted T cells beyond mere incapacitation.

Summary: The study found that the killing efficiency of CTLs in the liver is restrained compared to the spleen, and this limitation can be reversed by blocking immunosuppressive cytokines. Tumor cells exposed to CTLs in the liver showed prolonged calcium influx before caspase-3 activity.

Summary: By combining deep learning and Bayesian methods, we developed a novel cell tracking approach that accurately reconstructs cellular lineage information from time-lapse microscopy data. Our method allows for the extraction of thousands of fully annotated single-cell trajectories and multi-generational lineage trees with minimal manual curation, providing high-fidelity results.
