Mitochondrial morphological defects are a common feature of diseased cardiac myocytes. However, quantitative assessment of mitochondrial morphology is limited by the time-consuming manual segmentation of electron micrograph (EM) images. To advance un...
The mitochondrial network continually undergoes events of fission and fusion. Under physiologic conditions, the network is in equilibrium and is characterized by the presence of both elongated and punctate mitochondria. However, this balanced, homeos...
Tracing the entirety of ultrastructures in large three-dimensional electron microscopy (3D-EM) images of the brain tissue requires automated segmentation techniques. Current segmentation techniques use deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) and r...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: With the advancement of electron microscopy (EM) imaging technology, neuroscientists can investigate the function of various intracellular organelles, e.g, mitochondria, at nano-scale. Semantic segmentation of electron micro...
Autofluorescence microscopy is a promising label-free approach to characterize NADH and FAD metabolites in live cells, with potential applications in clinical practice. Although spectrally resolved lifetime imaging techniques can acquire multiparamet...

Mitochondrial proteins are physiologically active in different compartments, and their abnormal location will trigger the pathogenesis of human mitochondrial pathologies. Correctly identifying submitochondrial locations can provide information for di...
All living systems are maintained by a constant flux of metabolic energy and, among the different reactions, the process of lipids storage and lipolysis is of fundamental importance. Current research has focused on the investigation of lipid droplets...
Over the last few years more and more organ and idiosyncratic toxicities were linked to mitochondrial toxicity. Despite well-established assays, such as the seahorse and Glucose/Galactose assay, an in silico approach to mitochondrial toxicity is stil...
Data on experimentally-characterized animal mitochondrial proteomes (mt-proteomes) are limited to a few model organisms and are scattered across multiple databases, impeding a comparative analysis. We developed two resources to address these problems...
