How can we quantify single cell expression from multiplexed imaging datasets given segmentation errors?

To help tackle this, we introduce evaluation metrics, a gold-standard dataset, and STARLING—a new probabilistic machine learning method (1/4)

Segmentation aware probabilistic phenotyping of single-cell spatial protein expression data - Nature Communications
Spatial expression assays are affected by segmentation errors leading to difficulty interpreting cell types. Here, the authors introduce a machine learning model to infer cell types accounting for suc...

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

In a new #ScienceSignaling study, researchers introduce extracellular #TurboID, a refinement of the popular proteomics tool that interrogates #ProteinProteinInteractions on the exterior cell membrane, and characterize interactions between #EGFR and #LDLR. scim.ag/3DgfJr9
Extracellular proximal interaction profiling by cell surface–targeted TurboID reveals LDLR as a partner of liganded EGFR
A modified form of TurboID identifies extracellular interactions between transmembrane proteins.

Writing is thinking.

It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.
This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
I'm sure many have said this before but I'm reading a student-facing document about how students might use AI in the classroom (if allowed) and one of the recs is: use AI to make an outline of your reading! But ISN'T MAKING THE OUTLINE how one actually learns?

The growth of this community is amazing. I started a starter pack to bing the proteomics community together and accelerate this further
Proteomics - go.bsky.app/GYoxs2r
Please let me know if I missed you. I will curate this pack as new people gather under the blue sky

The unofficial FeMS starter pack (until they join us on Bluesky :) anyway. If you're a woman working with a mass spectrometer please ask to be added! All women are welcome!
