From Division to Decision: Leveraging Temporal Cell-Stage Segmentation for Embryo Transferability Prediction
Accurate selection of bovine embryos is a challenging task, as current practice relies on a single expert assessment on the seventh day after insemination, resulting in high rates of pregnancy loss. Time-lapse videomicroscopy provides detailed information on early development, but is difficult to exploit because of complex motion patterns and time-consuming analysis. We propose TransFACT, a transformer-based framework for modeling early developmental stages and embryo transferability using 2D time-lapse videos from the first four days of development. TransFACT combines frame-level temporal features with stage-level representations, using developmental stages as auxiliary supervision to predict transferability on day four. Our experiments demonstrate that TransFACT, by leveraging an existing method designed for action recognition, achieves superior performance than its competitor in predicting embryo transferability.

EmbryosFormer: Deformable Transformer and Collaborative Encoding-Decoding for Embryos Stage Development Classification
The timing of cell divisions in early embryos during the In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process is a key predictor of embryo viability. However, observing cell divisions in Time-Lapse Monitoring (TLM) is a time-consuming p…
DecoderA multi-stage model of cell proliferation and death: tracking cell divisions with Erlang distributions
Lymphocyte populations, stimulated in vitro or in vivo, grow as cells divide. Stochastic models are appropriate because some cells undergo multiple rounds of division, some die, and others of the same type in the same co…
Cell as Point: One-Stage Framework for Efficient Cell Tracking
Conventional multi-stage cell tracking approaches rely heavily on detection or segmentation in each frame as a prerequisite, requiring substantial resources for high-quality segmentation masks and increasing the overall …
Cell TrackingDiagnosticSegmentationEffects of cell cycle noise on excitable gene circuits
We assess the impact of cell cycle noise on gene circuit dynamics. For bistable genetic switches and excitable circuits, we find that transitions between metastable states most likely occur just after cell division and t…
Bridging the time scales of single-cell and population dynamics
How are granular details of stochastic growth and division of individual cells reflected in smooth deterministic growth of population numbers? We provide an integrated, multiscale perspective of microbial growth dynamics…
