Genipin can improve weak mechanical properties and control high degradation rate of gelatin, as a cross-linker of gelatin which is widely used in tissue engineering. In this study, genipin cross-linked gelatin biodegradable porous scaffolds with diff...
Targeted cell delivery by a magnetically actuated microrobot with a porous structure is a promising technique to enhance the low targeting efficiency of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) in tissue regeneration. However, the relevant research performed to d...
Assessing the structure and function of organelles in living organisms of the primitive unicellular red algae Cyanidioschyzon merolae on three-dimensional sequential images demands a reliable automated technique in the class imbalance among various c...
Phenotypic heterogeneity is an important trait for the development and survival of many microorganisms including the yeast Cryptococcus spp., a deadly pathogen spread worldwide. Here, we have applied scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to define four ...

With the growing importance of three-dimensional and very large field of view imaging, acquisition time becomes a serious bottleneck. Additionally, dose reduction is of importance when imaging material like biological tissue that is sensitive to elec...
Forensic diatom test has been widely accepted as a way of providing supportive evidences in the diagnosis of drowning. The current workflow is primarily based on the observation of diatoms by forensic pathologists under a microscopy, and this process...
Spray drying is commonly used to produce amorphous solid dispersions (ASD) to improve the bioperformance of poorly water-soluble drugs. In this study, imaging techniques such as focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) and X-ray microc...
A rapid method for screening pathogens can revolutionize health care by enabling infection control through medication before symptom. Here we report on label-free single-cell identifications of clinically-important pathogenic bacteria by using a poly...
The maturation or activation status of dendritic cells (DCs) directly correlates with their behavior and immunofunction. A common means to determine the maturity of dendritic cells is from high-resolution images acquired via scanning electron microsc...
