Prediction of Sequential Organelles Localization under Imbalance using A Balanced Deep U-Net.

Scientific reports
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...

Scanning electron microscopy and machine learning reveal heterogeneity in capsular morphotypes of the human pathogen Cryptococcus spp.

Scientific reports
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 ...

Nutritional and technological properties of a quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) spray-dried powdered extract.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
The relevance of an appropriate nutrition requires innovation in the design of food ingredients. The goal of this work was to obtain a powdered extract of quinoa by using spray-drying. To this aim, quinoa flour was suspended in water to obtain a solu...

Predicting degradation rate of genipin cross-linked gelatin scaffolds with machine learning.

Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications
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...

Deep Learning to Speed up the Development of Structure-Property Relations For Hexagonal Boron Nitride and Graphene.

Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)
Structure-property maps play a key role in accelerated materials discovery. The current norm for developing these maps includes computationally expensive physics-based simulations. Here, the capabilities of deep learning agents are explored such as c...

Preparation of albendazole-loaded liposomes by supercritical carbon dioxide processing.

Artificial cells, nanomedicine, and biotechnology
Supercritical fluid (SCF) technology offers a potential green alternative to organic solvent-based methods for drug formulation. Albendazole (ABZ) has promising anticancer activity when formulated to increase its cellular uptake. Herein, a static vol...

Anthelmintic effect and tissue alterations induced in vitro by hydrolysable tannins on the adult stage of the gastrointestinal nematode Haemonchus contortus.

Veterinary parasitology
Haemonchus contortus constitutes a severe problem for ruminant's production, it is the most frequent nematode parasite both in template and tropical regions, induces economical losses, and shows increasing resistance to currently available anthelmint...

Combination Therapy of Clinically Approved Antifungal Drugs Is Enhanced by Conjugation with Silver Nanoparticles.

International microbiology : the official journal of the Spanish Society for Microbiology
Silver nanoparticles (SN) have been recently developed as a new class of antimicrobial agents against numerous pathogenic microorganisms. SN have also been used as efficient drug delivery systems and have been linked with increasing drug potency. Her...

Chitosan coated calcium alginate beads for covalent immobilization of acrylamidase: Process parameters and removal of acrylamide from coffee.

Food chemistry
This study reports on removal of acrylamide from roasted coffee by acrylamidase from Cupriavidus oxalaticus ICTDB921. Chitosan coated calcium alginate beads were functionalized with citric acid as nontoxic cross linker and activated by 1-ethyl-3-(3-d...
