In preclinical toxicology studies, a "stage-aware" histopathological evaluation of testes is recognized as the most sensitive method to detect effects on spermatogenesis. A stage-aware evaluation requires the pathologist to be able to identify the di...
Neuroinflammation is associated with neuronal cell death and could lead to chronic neurodegeneration. This study investigated the neuroprotective potential of virgin coconut oil (VCO) against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cytotoxicity of neuroblas...
Current methods of evaluating the degree of diabetic retinopathy are highly subjective and have no quantitative standard. To objectively evaluate the slight changes in tissue structure during the early stage of retinal diseases, a subjective interpre...
Xiaokewan is a typical Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for diabetes and contains various natural chemicals, such as lignans, flavonoids, saponins, polysaccharides, and western medicine glibenclamide. In the current study, a highly efficient system...
Since the beginning of the history of transplants, numerous difficulties have been faced in the effective implementation of this therapeutic practice, especially with regard to the transplantation of solid organs and their teaching and training, toge...
OBJECTIVE: The extraction and identification of single-unit activities in intracortically recorded electric signals have a key role in basic neuroscience, but also in applied fields, like in the development of high-accuracy brain-computer interfaces....
Open-ended coaxial probes can be used as tissue characterization devices. However, the technique suffers from a high error rate. To improve this technology, there is a need to decrease the measurement error which is reported to be more than 30% for a...
Our previous work showed that lateral fluid percussion injury to the sensorimotor cortex (SMC) of anesthetized rats increased neuronal synaptic hyperexcitability in layer 5 (L5) neurons in ex vivo brain slices 10 days postinjury. Furthermore, endocan...
In this paper, we propose a deep recurrent neural network (DRNN) for the estimation of bladder pressure and volume from neural activity recorded directly from spinal cord gray matter neurons. The model was based on the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) a...
