Fusion of spatiotemporal and network models to prioritize multiscale effects in single-cell perturbations. (PubMed, Brief Bioinform)
In colitis, Perturb-STNet identified key genes (Csf1r, Col6a1, Lgr4, Myc, and Fzd5) and mediator pairs (Itga5-Flnc, Cd68-Csf1r, Csf1r-Cx3cl1, and Tnfrsf1b-Bmp1) involved in immune regulation, matrix remodeling, and epithelial repair, offering potential therapeutic targets. Overall, Perturb-STNet enables robust identification of spatiotemporal regulatory networks in single-cell perturbation data across diverse disease contexts.
