The metabolic heterogeneity and interplay between cells are known as significant contributors to disease treatment resistance. However, with the lack of a mature high-throughput single-cell metabolomics technology, we yet establish systematic understanding intra-tissue cooperative mechanisms. To mitigate this knowledge gap, developed novel computational method, namely, flux estimation analysis (scFEA), infer cell-wise fluxome from RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. scFEA is empowered by...

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) serve as the connection between eye and brain, with this disrupted in glaucoma. Numerous cellular mechanisms have been associated glaucomatous neurodegeneration, useful models of glaucoma allow for precise analysis degenerative phenotypes. Human pluripotent stem (hPSCs) powerful tools studying human disease, particularly underlying neurodegeneration. Thus, efforts focused upon hPSCs an E50K mutation Optineurin (OPTN) gene, a leading cause inherited forms...

Antigen processing and presentation via major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules are central to immune surveillance. Yet, quantifying the dynamic activity of MHC class I II antigen remains a critical challenge, particularly in diseases like cancer, infection autoimmunity where these pathways often disrupted. Current methods fall short providing precise, sample-specific insights into presentation, limiting our understanding evasion therapeutic responses. Here, we present PSAA...

Abstract Background and Aim: Spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) offers insights into tumor microenvironments (TME), mapping gene cell activities across tissue regions. While systems biology methods utilize SRT data to characterize neighborhood variations, high costs limited scalability hinder large-scale applications clinical correlations. In contrast, histological imaging (HI) provides accessible, high-resolution morphological with context. Existing HI-based expression imputation rely...

Abstract Purpose: Plexiform neurofibromas (PNF) are peripheral nerve sheath tumors that cause significant morbidity in persons with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), yet treatment options remain limited. To identify novel therapeutic targets for PNF, we applied an integrated multi-omic approach to quantitatively profile kinome enrichment a mouse model has predicted responses clinical trials NF1-associated PNF high fidelity. Experimental Design: Utilizing RNA sequencing combined chemical...

Abstract Quantitative assessment of single cell fluxome is critical for understanding the metabolic heterogeneity in diseases. Unfortunately, laboratory-based fluxomics currently impractical, and current computational tools flux estimation are not designed cell-level prediction. Given well-established link between transcriptomic metabolomic profiles, leveraging transcriptomics data to predict only feasible but also an urgent task. In this study, we present FLUXestimator, online platform...

Matrix low rank approximation is an effective method to reduce or eliminate the statistical redundancy of its components. Compared with traditional global methods such as singular value decomposition (SVD), local are more advantageous uncover interpretable data structures when clear duality exists between rows and columns matrix. Local equivalent submatrix detection. Unfortunately,existing can detect only submatrices specific mean structure, which may miss a substantial amount true...
