Show abstract
Single-cell sequencing has advanced the study of cell-cell communication, yet most methods focus on intercellular ligand-receptor interactions while neglecting downstream intracellular signalling cascades and the possibility that downstream target genes themselves encode ligands, thereby propagating communication across multiple cells. We present IntraTalker+CrossTalkeR that combines intracellular (IntraTalker) and intercellular (CrossTalkeR) signalling from multimodal single-cell data. IntraTalker infers cell-type-specific transcription factor activities and constructs receptomes that link receptors to downstream target genes, which are then integrated with ligand-receptor predictions in CrossTalkeR. To prioritize signalling receptors, the framework performs in silico receptor perturbation. In a murine bone marrow dataset, this recovered the known function of the Il1r1 receptor in driving myeloid progenitor cell-state changes. In a human myocardial infarction dataset, it predicted a novel role for IGF1R signalling in driving the differentiation of fibroblasts towards progenitor fibroblast states.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
