INTRODUCTION: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can provide important information on patient's prognosis and treatment efficacy. Currently, a plethora of methods is available for the detection of these rare cells. We compared the outcomes of two of thos...
INTRODUCTION: Paclitaxel (Tax) is a diterpene alkaloid isolated from Taxus species and has proved clinically effective in treating a number of malignancies. Current quantitative analytical methods for Tax such as high-performance liquid chromatograph...
Determination of fundamental mechanisms of disease often hinges on histopathology visualization and quantitative image analysis. Currently, the analysis of multi-channel fluorescence tissue images is primarily achieved by manual measurements of tissu...
MOTIVATION: Bioimages of subcellular protein distribution as a new data source have attracted much attention in the field of automated prediction of proteins subcellular localization. Performance of existing systems is significantly limited by the sm...
BACKGROUND: Immunofluorescence (IF) plays a major role in quantifying protein expression in situ and understanding cell function. It is widely applied in assessing disease mechanisms and in drug discovery research. Automation of IF analysis can trans...
BACKGROUND: The evaluation of histological tissue samples plays a crucial role in deciphering preclinical disease and injury mechanisms. High-resolution images can be obtained quickly however data acquisition are often bottlenecked by manual analysis...
Autoimmune diseases are the third highest cause of mortality in the world, and the identification of an anti-nuclear antibody via an immunofluorescence test for HEp-2 cells is a standard procedure to support diagnosis. In this work, we assess the per...
Deep-UV (DUV) excitation fluorescence microscopy has potential to provide rapid diagnosis with simple technique comparing to conventional histopathology based on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. We established a fluorescent staining protocol for...
Evaluation of reactive astrogliosis by neuroanatomical assays represents a common experimental outcome for neuroanatomists. The literature demonstrates several conflicting results as to the accuracy of such measures. We posited that the diverging res...
