Quantitative birefringence microscopy for imaging the structural integrity of CNS myelin following circumscribed cortical injury in the rhesus monkey
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2021-03-22)Significance: Myelin breakdown is likely a key factor in the loss of cognitive and motor function associated with many neurodegenerative diseases. Aim: New methods for imaging myelin structure are needed to characterize ... -
Informative predictors of pregnancy after first IVF cycle using eIVF practice highway electronic health records
(2022-01-17)The aim of this study is to determine the most informative pre- and in-cycle variables for predicting success for a first autologous oocyte in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. This is a retrospective study using 22,413 ... -
Sarc-Graph: automated segmentation, tracking, and analysis of sarcomeres in hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes
(2021-10)A better fundamental understanding of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) has the potential to advance applications ranging from drug discovery to cardiac repair. Automated quantitative ... -
Reconstituting the dynamics of endothelial cells and fibroblasts in wound closure
(2021-03)The formation of healthy vascularized granulation tissue is essential for rapid wound closure and the prevention of chronic wounds in humans, yet how endothelial cells and fibroblasts coordinate during this process has ... -
Force-FAK signaling coupling at individual focal adhesions coordinates mechanosensing and microtissue repair
(2021-04-21)How adhesive forces are transduced and integrated into biochemical signals at focal adhesions (FAs) is poorly understood. Using cells adhering to deformable micropillar arrays, we demonstrate that traction force and FAK ... -
The color of cancer: margin guidance for oral cancer resection using elastic scattering spectroscopy
(2017-09)OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To evaluate the usefulness of elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS) as a diagnostic adjunct to frozen section analysis in patients with diagnosed squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. STUDY ... -
Compressive remodeling alters fluid transport properties of collagen networks - implications for tumor growth
(2019-11-20)Biomechanical alterations to the tumor microenvironment include accumulation of solid stresses, extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffening and increased fluid pressure in both interstitial and peri-tumoral spaces. The relationship ... -
Avalanches and power law behavior in aortic dissection progression
(2020-05-22)Aortic dissection is a devastating cardiovascular disease known for its rapid propagation and high morbidity and mortality. The mechanisms underlying the propagation of aortic dissection are not well understood. Our study ... -
Neural activity underlying the detection of an object movement by an observer during forward self-motion: Dynamic decoding and temporal evolution of directional cortical connectivity.
(2020-12)Relatively little is known about how the human brain identifies movement of objects while the observer is also moving in the environment. This is, ecologically, one of the most fundamental motion processing problems, ...
