• Abstract summary: Live cell microscopy captures 5-D $(xy,z,channel,time)$ movies that display patterns of cellular motion and signaling dynamics. We present here an approach to finding patterns of cell signaling dynamics in 5-D live cell movies unique in requiring no priori knowledge of expected pattern dynamics, and no training data.

• Abstract: Live cell microscopy captures 5-D $(x,y,z,channel,time)$ movies that display patterns of cellular motion and signaling dynamics. We present here an approach to finding spatiotemporal patterns of cell signaling dynamics in 5-D live cell microscopy movies unique in requiring no a priori knowledge of expected pattern dynamics, and no training data. The proposed cell signaling structure function (SSF) is a Kolmogorov structure function that optimally measures cell signaling state as nuclear intensity w.r.t. surrounding cytoplasm, a significant improvement compared to the current state-of-the-art cytonuclear ratio. SSF kymographs store at each spatiotemporal cell centroid the SSF value, or a functional output such as velocity. Patterns of similarity are identified via the metric normalized compression distance (NCD). The NCD is a reproducing kernel for a Hilbert space that represents the input SSF kymographs as points in a low dimensional embedding that optimally captures the pattern similarity identified by the NCD throughout the space. The only parameter is the expected cell radii ($\mu m$). A new formulation of the cluster structure function optimally estimates how meaningful an embedding from the RKHS representation. Results are presented quantifying the impact of ERK and AKT signaling between different oncogenic mutations, and by the relation between ERK signaling and cellular velocity patterns for movies of 2-D monolayers of human breast epithelial (MCF10A) cells, 3-D MCF10A spheroids under optogenetic manipulation of ERK, and human induced pluripotent stem cells .

  We propose to represent living cell shapes as level sets of signed distance functions (SDFs) which are estimated by neural networks. We optimize a fully-connected neural network to provide an implicit representation of the SDF value at any point in a 3D+time domain. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach on cells that exhibit rapid deformations (Platynereis dumerilii), cells that grow and divide (C. elegans), and cells that have growing and branching filopodial protrusions (A549 human lung carcinoma cells)
