Rapid prediction of lab-grown tissue properties using deep learning.

Physical biology
The interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix are vital for the self-organisation of tissues. In this paper we present proof-of-concept to use machine learning tools to predict the role of this mechanobiology in the self-organisation of...

Self-supervised classification of subcellular morphometric phenotypes reveals extracellular matrix-specific morphological responses.

Scientific reports
Cell morphology is profoundly influenced by cellular interactions with microenvironmental factors such as the extracellular matrix (ECM). Upon adhesion to specific ECM, various cell types are known to exhibit different but distinctive morphologies, s...

Predicting and understanding arterial elasticity from key microstructural features by bidirectional deep learning.

Acta biomaterialia
Microstructural features and mechanical properties are closely related in all soft biological tissues. Both yet exhibit considerable inter-individual differences and are affected by factors such as aging and disease and its progression. Histological ...

Effect of Oxidized LDL on Platelet Shape, Spreading, and Migration Investigated with Deep Learning Platelet Morphometry.

Cells
Platelets are functionally versatile blood cells involved in thrombosis, hemostasis, atherosclerosis, and immune response. Platelet interaction with the immediate microenvironment in blood, vasculature, and tissues alters platelet morphology. The qua...

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...

Super resolution microscopy and deep learning identify Zika virus reorganization of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Scientific reports
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a complex subcellular organelle composed of diverse structures such as tubules, sheets and tubular matrices. Flaviviruses such as Zika virus (ZIKV) induce reorganization of ER membranes to facilitate viral replicatio...

Development of an Anisotropically Organized Brain dECM Hydrogel-Based 3D Neuronal Culture Platform for Recapitulating the Brain Microenvironment in Vivo.

ACS biomaterials science & engineering
To mimic the brain tissue microenvironment in vitro, the biological and structural properties of the utilized system must be similar to those of the native brain in the microenvironment in vivo. To promote the bioactive (biological) properties of mat...

Soft Ring-Shaped Cellu-Robots with Simultaneous Locomotion in Batches.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Untethered mini-robots can move single cells or aggregates to build complex constructs in confined spaces and may enable various biomedical applications such as regenerative repair in medicine and biosensing in bioengineering. However, a significant ...

Deep Learning for Drug Discovery and Cancer Research: Automated Analysis of Vascularization Images.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Likely drug candidates which are identified in traditional pre-clinical drug screens often fail in patient trials, increasing the societal burden of drug discovery. A major contributing factor to this phenomenon is the failure of traditional in vitro...
