AMC-Net: Asymmetric and multi-scale convolutional neural network for multi-label HPA classification.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The multi-label Human Protein Atlas (HPA) classification can yield a better understanding of human diseases and help doctors to enhance the automatic analysis of biomedical images. The existing automatic protein recognition...

3D Visualization of Microtubules in Epidermal Pavement Cells.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
The plant cytoskeleton is instrumental in cellular processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and immune response. Microtubules, in particular, play a crucial role in morphogenesis by governing the deposition of plant cell wall polysaccharides a...

Construction of Molecular Robots from Microtubules for Programmable Swarming.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Swarm robotics has been attracting much attention in recent years in the field of robotics. This chapter describes a methodology for the construction of molecular swarm robots through precise control of active self-assembly of microtubules (MTs). Det...

Schwann Cell and Axon: An Interlaced Unit-From Action Potential to Phenotype Expression.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Here we propose a model of a peripheral axon with a great deal of autonomy from its cell body-the autonomous axon-but with a substantial dependence on its ensheathing Schwann cell (SC), the axon-SC unit. We review evidence in several fields and show ...

A self-powered kinesin-microtubule system for smart cargo delivery.

Nanoscale
A smart self-powered cargo delivery system that is composed of creatine phosphate kinase (CPK) microspheres, kinesins and microtubules is demonstrated. The CPK microsphere not only acts as an ATP generation and buffering system, but also as a carrier...
