Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are described for determining and/or coding attribute information of a point cloud frame associated with content. The attribute information may be predicted, for example, based on a reference point cloud frame and a motion vector field used for reconstructed points of a point cloud frame. Attributes of one or more reference points in the reference point cloud frame may be used to determine the attributes of each reconstructed point, for example, if the one or more reference points are neighboring points of a motion-compensated point of the reconstructed point. Using motion compensation for the reconstructed points may lead to increased accuracy of attribute prediction, reduced memory use, and lower power consumption.

Abstract: Activated cardiac fibroblasts are essential for the production of extracellular matrix proteins that accumulate during cardiac fibrosis, and PW1+ cardiac adult stem cells were recently proposed as a cellular source of fibroblasts in the ischemic hearts. Here the inventors identify ?V-integrin (or CD51) as an essential regulator of PW1+ cardiac adult stem cells fibrogenic behavior. Inhibition of ?V-integrin reduce the profibrotic gene expression profile and the ability to differentiate into fibroblasts of cardiac PW1+ cells. The pharmacological blockade of ?V-containing integrins improved cardiac function and survival after MI by reducing infarct size and attenuating the extension of reactive cardiac fibrosis. Notably, the total cardiac fibrotic area as well as interstitial fibrosis in the remote myocardial area are significantly reduced after pharmacological blockade of ?V-containing integrins.
