Niuhuang jiedu prescription alleviates realgar-induced dopaminergic and GABAergic neurotoxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Journal of ethnopharmacology
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Niuhuang Jiedu (NHJD) is a Chinese medicine prescription containing realgar (AsS), which is neurotoxic, and seven other traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). However, whether the multiple TCMs contained in NHJD can mit...

Cell-type-directed design of synthetic enhancers.

Nature
Transcriptional enhancers act as docking stations for combinations of transcription factors and thereby regulate spatiotemporal activation of their target genes. It has been a long-standing goal in the field to decode the regulatory logic of an enhan...

Establishment of a morphological atlas of the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo using deep-learning-based 4D segmentation.

Nature communications
The invariant development and transparent body of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans enables complete delineation of cell lineages throughout development. Despite extensive studies of cell division, cell migration and cell fate differentiation, cell...

CytoCensus, mapping cell identity and division in tissues and organs using machine learning.

eLife
A major challenge in cell and developmental biology is the automated identification and quantitation of cells in complex multilayered tissues. We developed CytoCensus: an easily deployed implementation of supervised machine learning that extends conv...

Utilizing supervised machine learning to identify microglia and astrocytes in situ: implications for large-scale image analysis and quantification.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: The evaluation of histological tissue samples plays a crucial role in deciphering preclinical disease and injury mechanisms. High-resolution images can be obtained quickly however data acquisition are often bottlenecked by manual analysis...

Multiple tracking and machine learning reveal dopamine modulation for area-restricted foraging behaviors via velocity change in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Neuroscience letters
Food exploration is an essential survival behavior in organisms. To find food efficiently, many organisms use a foraging strategy called area-restricted search (ARS) wherein individuals first turn more frequently, restricting their search to one area...

High-throughput brain activity mapping and machine learning as a foundation for systems neuropharmacology.

Nature communications
Technologies for mapping the spatial and temporal patterns of neural activity have advanced our understanding of brain function in both health and disease. An important application of these technologies is the discovery of next-generation neurotherap...

Determination of total plasma oxysterols by enzymatic hydrolysis, solid phase extraction and liquid chromatography coupled to mass-spectrometry.

Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis
The potential use of cholesterol esterases was tested to avoid alkaline hydrolysis for cleavage of plasma esterified oxysterols. The enzymatic hydrolysis was optimized by testing two sources of enzyme-Pseudomonas and bovine pancreas, presence of surf...

Transcriptomes of lineage-specific Drosophila neuroblasts profiled by genetic targeting and robotic sorting.

Development (Cambridge, England)
A brain consists of numerous distinct neurons arising from a limited number of progenitors, called neuroblasts in Drosophila. Each neuroblast produces a specific neuronal lineage. To unravel the transcriptional networks that underlie the development ...
