Caloric restriction and IGF-I administration promote rabbit fecundity: Possible interrelationships and mechanisms of action.

Theriogenology
The aim of these in vivo and in vitro studies was to examine the influence of caloric restriction (CR), and the administration of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I), on rabbit fecundity and to understand the interrelationships between CR and IGF-I, a...

Automatic detection and classification of leukocytes using convolutional neural networks.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
The detection and classification of white blood cells (WBCs, also known as Leukocytes) is a hot issue because of its important applications in disease diagnosis. Nowadays the morphological analysis of blood cells is operated manually by skilled opera...

Autofocusing and Polar Body Detection in Automated Cell Manipulation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Autofocusing and feature detection are two essential processes for performing automated biological cell manipulation tasks. In this paper, we have introduced a technique capable of focusing on a holding pipette and a mammalian cell under a bright-fie...

Machine learning based methodology to identify cell shape phenotypes associated with microenvironmental cues.

Biomaterials
Cell morphology has been identified as a potential indicator of stem cell response to biomaterials. However, determination of cell shape phenotype in biomaterials is complicated by heterogeneous cell populations, microenvironment heterogeneity, and m...

Effect of actuating cell source on locomotion of organic living machines with electrocompacted collagen skeleton.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In robotics, there is a need for small scale, compliant actuators for use in medical applications or minimally invasive environmental monitoring. Biohybrid devices offer one solution to this need by using muscle cells to actuate compliant scaffolds. ...

Detection of Dendritic Spines Using Wavelet-Based Conditional Symmetric Analysis and Regularized Morphological Shared-Weight Neural Networks.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Identification and detection of dendritic spines in neuron images are of high interest in diagnosis and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's diseases, and autism). In this paper, we have proposed...

Molecular mechanisms of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid in the inhibition of TGF-β1-mediated canine corneal fibrosis.

Veterinary ophthalmology
OBJECTIVE: To investigate molecular mechanisms mediating anti-fibrotic effect of SAHA in the canine cornea using an in vitro model. We hypothesized that SAHA attenuates corneal fibrosis by modulating Smad-dependent and, to a lesser extent, Smad-indep...

Ligand-Based Virtual Screening in a Search for Novel Anti-HIV-1 Chemotypes.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
In a search for new anti-HIV-1 chemotypes, we developed a multistep ligand-based virtual screening (VS) protocol combining machine learning (ML) methods with the privileged structures (PS) concept. In its learning step, the VS protocol was based on H...

Automated, high-throughput derivation, characterization and differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells.

Nature methods
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are an essential tool for modeling how causal genetic variants impact cellular function in disease, as well as an emerging source of tissue for regenerative medicine. The preparation of somatic cells, their repr...

Perfluorooctanoic acid-induced toxicity in primary cultures of chicken embryo cardiomyocytes.

Environmental toxicology
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a widespread environmental contaminant that induces developmental cardiotoxicity. It is detectable in late stage chicken embryos and hatchling chickens. To investigate mechanism(s) of cardiotoxicity, primary cultures ...
