Multimodal Semantic Scene Graphs for Holistic Modeling of Surgical Procedures [PDF]
From a computer science viewpoint, a surgical domain model needs to be a conceptual one incorporating both behavior and data. It should therefore model actors, devices, tools, their complex interactions and data flow. To capture and model these, we take advantage of the latest computer vision methodologies for generating 3D scene graphs from camera ...

Semaphorin 3E–Plexin D1 Axis Drives Lung Fibrosis through ErbB2‐Mediated Fibroblast Activation
TGF‐β1 stimulation in fibroblasts leads to increased Furin expression, Furin‐mediated cleavage of P87‐Sema3E to P61‐Sema3E, which affects fibroblast function through the autocrine pathway, and the P61‐Sema3E‐PlexinD1 axis promotes fibroblast activation, proliferation and migration by affecting ErbB2 phosphorylation, which in turn activates the ErbB2 ...
