Expected affine: A registration method for damaged section in serial sections electron microscopy

Imagine you’re putting together a massive jigsaw puzzle, but some of the pieces are damaged. How do you make sure they still fit together seamlessly? That’s the challenge researchers face when reconstructing biological tissues using serial section electron microscopy (ssEM) images. Damaged sections can throw off the registration process, making it difficult to track and […]

Cannabinoid signaling and risk in Huntington’s disease

Imagine your body is a circuit board, and every connection needs to be regulated to function properly. In Huntington’s disease (HD), there’s a disruption in the communication system due to dysregulated endocannabinoid (eCB) signaling and the loss of cannabinoid receptors. Scientists have created a computational model to understand this phenomenon better. It turns out that […]

Ensemble deep learning for brain tumor detection

Imagine diving into a treasure trove of medical data and uncovering invaluable insights that lead to improved outcomes for patients with brain tumors. Brain tumors, feared for their aggressiveness and low survival rates, are challenging to detect. Small lesions can easily go unnoticed, making accurate diagnosis critical. Fortunately, researchers have developed a cutting-edge solution: a […]
