Monitoring anemia recovery is crucial for clinical intervention. Morphological assessment of red blood cells (RBCs) with peripheral blood smears (PBSs) provides additional information beyond routine blood tests. However, the PBS test is labor-intensi...
The increasing prevalence of environmental pollutants has raised public concern about their potential role in diseases such as atherosclerosis (AS). Existing studies suggest that chemicals, including bisphenol S (BPS), may adversely affect cardiovasc...
HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVE: Rodent models of epilepsy can help with the search for more effective drug candidates or neuromodulatory therapies. Yet, preclinical screening of candidate options for anti-epileptic drugs (AED) using rodent models may require h...
Earthworm-like robots have excellent locomotion capability in confined environments. Central pattern generator (CPG) based controllers utilize the dynamics of coupled nonlinear oscillators to spontaneously generate actuation signals for all segments,...

Understanding metabolic adaptations to seasonal fluctuations in ectothermic organisms is challenging, especially in tropical species where physiological responses are more pronounced than in temperate or polar counterparts. Traditional analytical met...
AIMS: C. albicans resistant strains have led to increasingly severe treatment challenges. Antimicrobial peptides with low resistance-inducing propensity for pathogens have been developed. A series of antimicrobial peptides de novo designed through ma...
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs), pacemaker and neuromodulator cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, play an important role in GI motility. However, quantifying ICCs is challenging due to their mixed morphologies. Here, we present a protocol fo...

Wing articulation is critical for the efficient flight of bird- and bat-sized animals. Inspired by the flight of , the lesser short-nosed fruit bat, we built a two-degree-of-freedom flapping wing platform with variable wing folding capability. In the...
Identifying viral replication within cells demands labor-intensive isolation methods, requiring specialized personnel and additional confirmatory tests. To facilitate this process, we developed an AI-powered automated system called AI Recognition of ...
Measuring and monitoring fish welfare in aquaculture research relies on the use of outcome- (biotic) and input-based (e.g., abiotic) welfare indicators (WIs). Incorporating behavioural auditing into this toolbox can sometimes be challenging because s...
