Bisphenol AF (BPAF) is an emerging contaminant prevalent in the environment as one of main substitutes of bisphenol A (BPA). It was found that BPAF exhibited estrogenic effects in zebrafish larvae in our previous study, while little is known about it...
Biomedical research data reuse and sharing is essential for fostering research progress. To this aim, data producers need to master data management and reporting through standard and rich metadata, as encouraged by open data initiatives such as the F...

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS), which attempts to extract quantitative features from the US radiofrequency (RF) or envelope data for tissue characterization, is becoming a promising technique for noninvasive assessments of liver fibrosis. However, the...
Many marine creatures, gastropods, and earthworms generate continuous traveling waves in their bodies for locomotion within marine environments, complex surfaces, and inside narrow gaps. In this work, we study theoretically and experimentally the use...

To investigate the interaction of a robot assisted magnetically driven wireless capsule endoscope (WCE) with colonic tissue, as it traverses the colorectal bends in the dorsal and ventral directions, relying only on the feedback from a 3D accelerome...
The transition from the lab to natural environments is an archetypal challenge in robotics. While larger robots can manage complex limb-ground interactions using sensing and control, such strategies are difficult to implement on small platforms where...
American foulbrood is a dangerous bee disease that attacks the sealed brood. It quickly leads to the death of bee colonies. Efficient diagnosis of this disease is essential. As specific odours are produced when larvae rot, it was investigated whether...
For image-guided small animal irradiations, the whole workflow of imaging, organ contouring, irradiation planning, and delivery is typically performed in a single session requiring continuous administration of anaesthetic agents. Automating contourin...
Data from manual healthspan assays of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) can be complex to quantify. The first attempts to quantify motor performance were done manually, using the so-called thrashing or body bends assay. Some laboratori...
The resident macrophages of the central nervous system, microglia, are becoming increasingly implicated as active participants in neuropathology and ageing. Their diverse and changeable morphology is tightly linked with functions they perform, enabli...
