Novel integrated multiomics analysis reveals a key role for integrin beta-like 1 in wound scarring.

Exacerbation of scarring can originate from a minority fibroblast population that has undergone inflammatory-mediated genetic changes within the wound microenvironment. The fundamental relationship between molecular and spatial organization of the repair process at the single-cell level remains unclear. We have developed a novel, high-resolution spatial multiomics method that integrates spatial transcriptomics with scRNA-Seq; we identified new characteristic features of cell-cell communication and signaling during the repair process.

A single fast Hebbian-like process enabling one-shot class addition in deep neural networks without backbone modification.

One-shot learning, the ability to learn a new concept from a single instance, is a distinctive brain function that has garnered substantial interest in machine learning. While modeling physiological mechanisms poses challenges, advancements in artificial neural networks have led to performances in specific tasks that rival human capabilities. Proposing one-shot learning methods with these advancements, especially those involving simple mechanisms, not only enhance technological development but also contribute to neuroscience by proposing functionally valid hypotheses.
