Optical projection tomography (OPT) is a 3D mesoscopic imaging modality that can utilize absorption or fluorescence contrast. 3D images can be rapidly reconstructed from tomographic data sets sampled with sufficient numbers of projection angles using...
In connectomics, the study of the network structure of connected neurons, great advances are being made on two different scales: that of macro- and meso-scale connectomics, studying the connectivity between populations of neurons, and that of micro-s...
Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) has been investigated as an alternative imaging modality for breast cancer detection thanks to its excellent contrast to hemoglobin oxidization level. However, due to the complicated non-linear photon scattering physi...
Accurately modeling cellular response to perturbations is a central goal of computational biology. While such modeling has been based on statistical, mechanistic and machine learning models in specific settings, no generalization of predictions to ph...
Studies of patients afflicted by neurodegenerative diseases suggest that misfolded proteins spread through the brain along anatomically connected networks, prompting progressive decline. Recently, mouse models have recapitulated the cell-to-cell tran...

Neurodevelopmental spectrum disorders like autism (ASD) are diagnosed, on average, beyond age 4 y, after multiple critical periods of brain development close and behavioral intervention becomes less effective. This raises the urgent need for quantita...
Stem cells are a group of competent cells capable of self-renewal and differentiating into osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic lineages. These cells provide the possibility of successfully treating patients. During differentiation into adipose t...
Core-shell microcapsules as one type of the most attractive carriers and reactors have been widely applied in the fields of drug screening and tissue engineering owing to their excellent biocompatibility and semi-permeability. Yet, the spatial organi...
Digital reconstruction or tracing of 3D neuron is essential for understanding the brain functions. While existing automatic tracing algorithms work well for the clean neuronal image with a single neuron, they are not robust to trace the neuron surrou...
Sequence based DNA-binding protein (DBP) prediction is a widely studied biological problem. Sliding windows on position specific substitution matrices (PSSMs) rows predict DNA-binding residues well on known DBPs but the same models cannot be applied ...
