Highly adaptable deep-learning platform for automated detection and analysis of vesicle exocytosis.

Nature communications
Activity recognition in live-cell imaging is labor-intensive and requires significant human effort. Existing automated analysis tools are largely limited in versatility. We present the Intelligent Vesicle Exocytosis Analysis (IVEA) platform, an Image...

TRIM29 alleviates intervertebral disc degeneration through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

Scientific reports
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), a prevalent spinal condition linked to low back pain, has substantial genetic components, necessitating deeper understanding of its mechanisms. This study categorized nucleus pulposus cell (NPC) populations and...

Prediction of Internal Exposures after Virtual Oral Doses of Disparate Chemicals in Rats and Humans Using Simplified Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Models with Generated Input Parameters.

Chemical research in toxicology
Toxicological evaluation of industrial chemicals with a broad range of chemical structures, for example, bioactive food components, toxic food-derived compounds, and drugs, usually involves the estimation of human clearance by allometric extrapolatio...

Assessing changes in whole-brain structural connectivity in the unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine rat model of Parkinson's disease using diffusion imaging and tractography.

Journal of neural engineering
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a multifactorial, progressive neurodegenerative disease that has a profound impact on those it afflicts. Its hallmark pathophysiology is characterized by degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the midbrain which trig...

Multimodal Optical Imaging Combined with Radiomic Analysis for Fibrotic Cardiac Tissue Investigation.

Analytical chemistry
Understanding the process of fibrotic scarring of the myocardium is critical for the diagnosis and risk stratification of life-threatening cardiac dysfunction. Complex changes in structure, composition, and conductivity occurring at different stages ...

Discovering novel type I collagen fragments from Cyprinus carpio supporting bone regeneration.

Functional & integrative genomics
Fish collagen is gaining increasing attention in tissue engineering due to its exceptional bioactivity. This study aimed to isolate functional fish collagen fragments capable of microbial biosynthesis and supporting bone tissue regeneration. Collagen...

Machine learning-based model for behavioural analysis in rodents applied to the forced swim test.

Scientific reports
The Forced Swim Test (FST) is a widely used preclinical model for assessing antidepressant efficacy, studying stress response, and evaluating depressive-like behaviours in rodents. Over the last 10 years, more than 5500 scientific articles reporting ...

Three-dimensional U-Net with transfer learning improves automated whole brain delineation from MRI brain scans of rats, mice, and monkeys.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Automated whole-brain delineation (WBD) techniques often struggle to generalize across pre-clinical studies due to variations in animal models, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, and tissue contrasts. We developed a 3D U-Net neura...

Sleep Identification Enabled by Supervised Training Algorithms (SIESTA): An Open-Source Platform for Automatic Sleep Staging of Rodent Electrocorticographic and Electromyographic Data.

Journal of biological rhythms
Accurately capturing the temporal distribution of polysomnographic sleep stages is critical for the study of sleep function, regulation, and disorders in higher vertebrates. In laboratory rodents, scoring of electrocorticography (ECoG) and electromyo...

Vascular segmentation of functional ultrasound images using deep learning.

Computers in biology and medicine
Segmentation of medical images is a fundamental task with numerous applications. While MRI, CT, and PET modalities have significantly benefited from deep learning segmentation techniques, more recent modalities, like functional ultrasound (fUS), have...
