MASP-2 deficiency does not prevent the progression of diabetic kidney disease in a mouse model of type 1 diabetes.

Scandinavian journal of immunology
Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) initiates the lectin pathway of complement and has been linked to albuminuria and mortality in diabetes. We hypothesize that MBL-associated serine protease 2 (MASP-2) deficiency will protect against diabetes-induced kidney...

Structural, functional and molecular pathogenesis of pelvic organ prolapse in patient and deficient mice.

Aging
Pelvic organ prolapse is a worldwide health problem to elderly women. Understanding its pathogenesis and an ideal animal model are crucial to developing promising treatments. The present study aimed to investigate new clinical significance and detail...

Enhanced Integrated Gradients: improving interpretability of deep learning models using splicing codes as a case study.

Genome biology
Despite the success and fast adaptation of deep learning models in biomedical domains, their lack of interpretability remains an issue. Here, we introduce Enhanced Integrated Gradients (EIG), a method to identify significant features associated with ...

Machine learning predicts putative hematopoietic stem cells within large single-cell transcriptomics data sets.

Experimental hematology
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are an essential source and reservoir for normal hematopoiesis, and their function is compromised in many blood disorders. HSC research has benefitted from the recent development of single-cell molecular profiling tech...

Detection and Classification of Novel Renal Histologic Phenotypes Using Deep Neural Networks.

The American journal of pathology
With the advent and increased accessibility of deep neural networks (DNNs), complex properties of histologic images can be rigorously and reproducibly quantified. We used DNN-based transfer learning to analyze histologic images of periodic acid-Schif...

Real-time analysis of the behaviour of groups of mice via a depth-sensing camera and machine learning.

Nature biomedical engineering
Preclinical studies of psychiatric disorders use animal models to investigate the impact of environmental factors or genetic mutations on complex traits such as decision-making and social interactions. Here, we introduce a method for the real-time an...

Refining humane endpoints in mouse models of disease by systematic review and machine learning-based endpoint definition.

ALTEX
Ideally, humane endpoints allow for early termination of experiments by minimizing an animal's discomfort, distress and pain, while ensuring that scientific objectives are reached. Yet, lack of commonly agreed methodology and heterogeneity of cut-off...

Morphometric analysis of peripheral myelinated nerve fibers through deep learning.

Journal of the peripheral nervous system : JPNS
Irrespective of initial causes of neurological diseases, these disorders usually exhibit two key pathological changes-axonal loss or demyelination or a mixture of the two. Therefore, vigorous quantification of myelin and axons is essential in studyin...
