celldeath: A tool for detection of cell death in transmitted light microscopy images by deep learning-based visual recognition.

PloS one
Cell death experiments are routinely done in many labs around the world, these experiments are the backbone of many assays for drug development. Cell death detection is usually performed in many ways, and requires time and reagents. However, cell dea...

Machine Learning to Quantitate Neutrophil NETosis.

Scientific reports
We introduce machine learning (ML) to perform classification and quantitation of images of nuclei from human blood neutrophils. Here we assessed the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) using free, open source software to accurately quantitate...

Clinical Significance of Circulating Cardiomyocyte-Specific Cell-Free DNA in Patients With Heart Failure: A Proof-of-Concept Study.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
We investigated clinical significance of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in heart failure. This study enrolled 32 heart failure patients and 28 control subjects. Total cfDNA levels were not different between groups (P = 0.343). Bisulfite-digital polymerase cha...

Spread of α-synuclein pathology through the brain connectome is modulated by selective vulnerability and predicted by network analysis.

Nature neuroscience
Studies of patients afflicted by neurodegenerative diseases suggest that misfolded proteins spread through the brain along anatomically connected networks, prompting progressive decline. Recently, mouse models have recapitulated the cell-to-cell tran...

Synthesis and Evaluation of Biological Activities of Aziridine Derivatives of Urea and Thiourea.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
In the present paper, we report the synthesis and evaluation of in vitro antimicrobial activities of aziridine-thiourea derivatives. A series of aziridines in reaction with isocyanates and isothiocyanates to obtain urea and thiourea derivatives were ...

Nitric oxide-releasing injectable hydrogels with high antibacterial activity through in situ formation of peroxynitrite.

Acta biomaterialia
UNLABELLED: Nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenous molecule with many critical biological functions that depend on its concentration. At high levels, NO provides broad-spectrum antibacterial effects through both its pathogen inhibition and killing abilit...

Preliminary investigation on cytotoxicity of fluorinated polymer nanoparticles.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
As well-known persistent organic pollutants (POPs), organofluorine pollutants such as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) have been proven to be bioaccumulated and harmful to health. However, toxicological assessment of organofluorinated nanoparticles, ...

Betulin-loaded PEDOT films for regional chemotherapy.

Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications
Chemotherapy is one of the most commonly used cancer treatments. Even so, it has significant adverse effects on healthy tissues. These effects can be avoided through the use of regional chemotherapy, an approach based on delivering the anti-cancer ag...

Differential cytotoxicity and internalization of graphene family nanomaterials in myocardial cells.

Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications
Given the well-known physical properties of graphene oxide (GO), numerous applications for this novel nanomaterial have been recently envisioned to improve the performance of biomedical devices. However, the toxicological assessment of GO, which stro...
