Predicting the size and toxicity of chitosan/streptokinase nanoparticles at various values of processing parameters was the aim of this study. For the first time, a comprehensive model could be developed to determine the cytotoxicity of the nanoparti...
Understanding the processes of mitochondrial dynamics (fission, fusion, biogenesis, and mitophagy) has been hampered by the lack of automated, deterministic methods to measure mitochondrial morphology from microscopic images. A method to quantify mit...
MOTIVATION: Predicting drug response is critical for precision medicine. Diverse methods have predicted drug responsiveness, as measured by the half-maximal drug inhibitory concentration (IC50), in cultured cells. Although IC50s are continuous, tradi...
CONTEXT: Traditionally, Hook. f. (Asteraceae) has been reported to be effective in cancer treatment which motivated the authors to explore the plant for novel anticancer compounds.

Effective treatments for COVID-19 are urgently needed. However, discovering single-agent therapies with activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been challenging. Combination therapies play an important role i...
Single-particle tracking (SPT) has become a popular tool to study the intracellular transport of molecules in living cells. Inferring the character of their dynamics is important, because it determines the organization and functions of the cells. For...
