A soft robotic total artificial hybrid heart.

Nature communications
End-stage heart failure is a deadly disease. Current total artificial hearts (TAHs) carry high mortality and morbidity and offer low quality of life. To overcome current biocompatibility issues, we propose the concept of a soft robotic, hybrid (pumpi...

Predicting genetic merit in Harnali sheep using machine learning techniques.

Tropical animal health and production
Machine learning techniques offer promising avenues for enhancing animal breeding programs by leveraging genomic and phenotypic data to predict valuable traits accurately. In this study, we evaluated seven machine learning algorithms viz., K-nearest ...

Social bonding between humans, animals, and robots: Dogs outperform AIBOs, their robotic replicas, as social companions.

PloS one
In the evolving landscape of technology, robots have emerged as social companions, prompting an investigation into social bonding between humans and robots. While human-animal interactions are well-studied, human-robot interactions (HRI) remain compa...

SC2Spa: a deep learning based approach to map transcriptome to spatial origins at cellular resolution.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Understanding cellular heterogeneity within tissues hinges on knowledge of their spatial context. However, it is still challenging to accurately map cells to their spatial coordinates.

Concept transfer of synaptic diversity from biological to artificial neural networks.

Nature communications
Recent developments in artificial neural networks have drawn inspiration from biological neural networks, leveraging the concept of the artificial neuron to model the learning abilities of biological nerve cells. However, while neuroscience has provi...

Investigating the effect of morphology on the terrestrial gaits of amphibious fish using a reconfigurable robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The relationship between morphology and locomotion performance in amphibious fish remains poorly understood, particularly in axial-appendage-based and appendage-based movements. To address this, we introduce Polymander, a reconfigurable robot capable...

Modeling Normal and Abnormal Circuit Development with Recurrent Neural Networks.

Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in biology
Neural development must construct neural circuits that can perform the computations necessary for survival. However, many theoretical models of development do not explicitly address the computational goals of the resulting networks, or computations t...

Egocentric value maps of the near-body environment.

Nature neuroscience
Body-part-centered response fields are pervasive in single neurons, functional magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography and behavior, but there is no unifying formal explanation of their origins and role. In the present study, we used reinf...

Role of astroglia and microglia in Alzheimer's disease and multiple therapeutic interventions.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) formed by aggregates of hyperphosphorylated tau proteins. It presents a formidable global health challenge, prompting the exploration of inno...

LiDSCUNet++: A lightweight depth separable convolutional UNet++ for vertebral column segmentation and spondylosis detection.

Research in veterinary science
Accurate computer-aided diagnosis systems rely on precise segmentation of the vertebral column to assist physicians in diagnosing various disorders. However, segmenting spinal disks and bones becomes challenging in the presence of abnormalities and c...
