BACKGROUND: Low-dose positron emission tomography (LD-PET) imaging is commonly employed in preclinical research to minimize radiation exposure to animal subjects. However, LD-PET images often exhibit poor quality and high noise levels due to the low ...
SIGNIFICANCE: Interventional cardiac procedures often require ionizing radiation to guide cardiac catheters to the heart. To reduce the associated risks of ionizing radiation, photoacoustic imaging can potentially be combined with robotic visual serv...
BACKGROUND: In the era of minimally invasive surgery, it is clear that a robust simulation model is required for the training of surgeons in advanced abdominal wall reconstruction. The purpose of this experimentation was to evaluate whether a porcine...
Macroevolution can be regarded as the result of evolutionary changes of synergistically acting genes. Unfortunately, the importance of these genes in macroevolution is difficult to assess and hence the identification of macroevolutionary key genes is...
BACKGROUND: Traditionally, in biomedical animal research, laboratory rodents are individually examined in test apparatuses outside of their home cages at selected time points. However, the outcome of such tests can be influenced by various factors an...
This article presents a multimodal steerable earthworm-inspired soft robot based on vacuum and positive pressure powered pneumatic actuators capable of crawling both inside pipelines and on planar surfaces. The optimized modular vacuum pressure-drive...
Optical stimulation and control of muscle cell contraction opens up a number of interesting applications in hybrid robotic and medicine. Here we show that recently designed molecular phototransducer can be used to stimulate C2C12 skeletal muscle cell...
The Veterinary clinics of North America. Small animal practice
Nov 10, 2023
Veterinary practices must be forward-thinking to effectively serve today's pet owners and move into the future. The progressive practice considers every aspect of a pet owner's journey, from searching for a veterinarian to paying their invoice, and s...
Microcirculation (New York, N.Y. : 1994)
Nov 10, 2023
OBJECTIVE: The success of engineered tissues continues to be limited by time to vascularization and perfusion. Recently, we described a simple microsurgical approach, termed micropuncture (MP), which could be used to rapidly vascularize an adjacently...
Here we present a deep learning-based image analysis platform (DLAP), tailored to autonomously quantify cell numbers, and fluorescence signals within cellular compartments, derived from RNAscope or immunohistochemistry. We utilised DLAP to analyse su...
