The development of computer technology now allows the quick and efficient automatic fluorescence microscopy generation of a large number of images of proteins in specific subcellular compartments using fluorescence microscopy. Digital image processin...
We present deep-learning-enabled super-resolution across different fluorescence microscopy modalities. This data-driven approach does not require numerical modeling of the imaging process or the estimation of a point-spread-function, and is based on ...

In this study, a drug delivery system for chemo-hyperthermia applications is proposed and fabricated. The delivery system consists of magnetic-silica (MagSi) particles being encapsulated within a pH/thermo-responsive chitosan‑g‑N‑isopropylacrylamide ...
As an important base excision repair (BER) enzyme, uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) can repair the uracil-induced DNA lesion and maintain the genomic integrity. Herein, we have proposed a sensitive UDG assay based on the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transfe...
For most of the cells, water permeability and plasma membrane properties play a vital role in the optimal protocol for successful cryopreservation. Measuring the water permeability of cells during subzero temperature is essential. So far, there is no...
The accuracy of peptide retention time (RT) prediction model in liquid chromatography (LC) is still not sufficient for wider implementation in proteomics practice. Herein, we propose deep learning as an ideal tool to considerably improve this predict...
Synthetic lethality is the synthesis of mutations leading to cell death. Tumor-specific synthetic lethality has been targeted in research to improve cancer therapy. With the advances of techniques in molecular biology, such as RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9 ge...

Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithms have been proved to be effective image segmentation techniques. However, FCM clustering algorithms are sensitive to noises and initialization. They cannot effectively segment cell images with inhomogeneous gr...
The present study assessed the protective effect of aspirin against carcinogenicity induced by mitomycin C (MMC) by the test for detection of warts/epithelial tumor clones in Drosophila melanogaster. Larvae were treated with different concentrations ...
