The alterations of miRNA and mRNA expression profile and their integration analysis induced by silica nanoparticles in spermatocyte cells.

NanoImpact
Air pollution and the application of Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have increased the risk of human exposure to SiNPs. SiNPs are known to induce cytotoxicity in spermatocyte cells (GC-2spd cells) of mice and male reproductive system damage. However, t...

A Novel Biomimetic Compliant Structural Skin Based on Composite Materials for Biorobotics Applications.

Soft robotics
Biorobotics is increasingly attracting engineers worldwide, due to the high impact this field can have on the society. Biorobotics aims at imitating or taking inspiration from mechanisms and strategies evolved by animals, including their locomotion a...

DeepFoveaNet: Deep Fovea Eagle-Eye Bioinspired Model to Detect Moving Objects.

IEEE transactions on image processing : a publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
Birds of prey especially eagles and hawks have a visual acuity two to five times better than humans. Among the peculiar characteristics of their biological vision are that they have two types of foveae; one shallow fovea used in their binocular visio...

Robust Phase Unwrapping via Deep Image Prior for Quantitative Phase Imaging.

IEEE transactions on image processing : a publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is an emerging label-free technique that produces images containing morphological and dynamical information without contrast agents. Unfortunately, the phase is wrapped in most imaging system. Phase unwrapping is the ...

Geometric morphometrics and machine learning as tools for the identification of sibling mosquito species of the Maculipennis complex (Anopheles).

Infection, genetics and evolution : journal of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics in infectious diseases
Geometric morphometrics allows researchers to use the specific software to quantify and to visualize morphological differences between taxa from insect wings. Our objective was to assess wing geometry to distinguish four Anopheles sibling species of ...

Dendritic normalisation improves learning in sparsely connected artificial neural networks.

PLoS computational biology
Artificial neural networks, taking inspiration from biological neurons, have become an invaluable tool for machine learning applications. Recent studies have developed techniques to effectively tune the connectivity of sparsely-connected artificial n...

Swarming Aqua Sperm Micromotors for Active Bacterial Biofilms Removal in Confined Spaces.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Microscale self-propelled robots show great promise in the biomedical field and are the focus of many researchers. These tiny devices, which move and navigate by themselves, are typically based on inorganic microstructures that are not biodegradable ...

Engineered Extracellular Matrices with Integrated Wireless Microactuators to Study Mechanobiology.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Mechanobiology explores how forces regulate cell behaviors and what molecular machinery are responsible for the sensing, transduction, and modulation of mechanical cues. To this end, probing of cells cultured on planar substrates has served as a prim...

Detection of Lung Nodules in Micro-CT Imaging Using Deep Learning.

Tomography (Ann Arbor, Mich.)
We are developing imaging methods for a co-clinical trial investigating synergy between immunotherapy and radiotherapy. We perform longitudinal micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) of mice to detect lung metastasis after treatment. This work explores...
