The amyloid state of proteins is widely studied with relevance to neurology, biochemistry, and biotechnology. In contrast with nearly amorphous aggregation, the amyloid state has a well-defined structure, consisting of parallel and antiparallel β-she...
It is challenging to compare amyloid PET images obtained with different radiotracers. Here, we introduce a new approach to improve the interchangeability of amyloid PET acquired with different radiotracers through image-level translation. Deep genera...

PURPOSE: Standardized uptake value ratio (SUVr) used to quantify amyloid-β burden from amyloid-PET scans can be biased by variations in the tracer's nonspecific (NS) binding caused by the presence of cerebrovascular disease (CeVD). In this work, we p...

PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the performance of deep learning-based generalization of ultra-low-count amyloid PET/MRI enhancement when applied to studies acquired with different scanning hardware and protocols.
Detecting crossovers in cryo-electron microscopy images of protein fibrils is an important step towards determining the morphological composition of a sample. Currently, the crossover locations are picked by hand, which introduces errors and is a tim...

PURPOSE: Although most deep learning (DL) studies have reported excellent classification accuracy, these studies usually target typical Alzheimer's disease (AD) and normal cognition (NC) for which conventional visual assessment performs well. A clini...
Despite the importance of amyloid formation in disease pathology, the understanding of the primary structure?activity relationship for amyloid-forming peptides remains elusive. Here we use a new neural-network based method of analysis: the classifyin...
Amyloid fibrillation of proteins is likely a key factor leading to the development of amyloidosis-associated diseases. Inhibiting amyloid fibrillation has become a crucial therapeutic strategy. Water-soluble, fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs)...
