Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the progressive form of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are diseases of major importance with a high unmet medical need. Efficacy studies on novel compounds to treat NAFLD/NASH using disease models a...
The scale of biological microscopy has increased dramatically over the past ten years, with the development of new modalities supporting collection of high-resolution fluorescence image volumes spanning hundreds of microns if not millimeters. The siz...
Automated observation and analysis of rodent behavior is important to facilitate research progress in neuroscience and pharmacology. Available automated systems lack adaptivity and can benefit from advances in AI. In this work we compare a state-of-t...
Behavior provides important insights into neuronal processes. For example, analysis of reaching movements can give a reliable indication of the degree of impairment in neurological disorders such as stroke, Parkinson disease, or Huntington disease. T...

Growth factor delivery using acellular matrices presents a promising alternative to current treatment options for bone repair in critical-size injuries. However, supra-physiological doses of the factors can introduce safety concerns that must be alle...
The ability to rapidly assimilate new information is essential for survival in a dynamic environment. This requires experiences to be encoded alongside the contextual schemas in which they occur. Tse et al. (Science 316(5821):76-82, 2007) showed that...
Stroke is a significant cause of morbidity and long-term disability globally. Detection of injured neuron is a prerequisite for defining the degree of focal ischemic brain injury, which can be used to guide further therapy. Here, we demonstrate the c...
