Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Robust Evolution Method of Active Contour Models and Application in Segmentation of Image Sequence

open access: yesJournal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2018
Active contour models are widely used in image segmentation. In order to obtain ideal object boundary, researchers utilize various information to define new models for image segmentation. However, the models could not meet all scenes of image.

Flexible shape extraction for micro/nano scale structured surfaces.

open access: yes, 2009
Surface feature is the one of the most important factors affecting the functionality and reliability of micro scale patterned surfaces. For micro scale patterned surface characterisation, it’s important to extract the surface feature effectively and ...

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Digital Rebirth of Dongba Pattern: An Improved Active Contour Model for Pattern Contour Extraction

open access: yesIEEE Access
In response to the time-consuming and laborious problem of manually drawing elements in existing poster designs, this paper proposes a method for extracting the contours of Dongba patterns based on improved active contour model.

Detection and Segmentation of Retinal Lesions in Retcam 3 Images Based on Active Contours Driven by Statistical Local Features

open access: yesAdvances in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 2019
Clinical retinal image analysis is an import aspect of clinical diagnosis in ophthalmology. Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) represents one of the most severe retinal disorders in prematurely born infants. One of the ROP clinical signs is the presence of

Active Contour Method with Separate Global Translation and Local Deformation

open access: yes, 2009
Active Contour can describe targets accurately and has been widely used in image segmentation and target tracking.. Its main drawback is huge computation that is still not well resolved.

A background robust active appearance model using active contour technique

open access: yes, 2019
This paper proposes an active contour-based active appearance model (AAM) that is robust to a cluttered background and a large motion. The proposed AAM fitting algorithm consists of two alternating procedures: active contour fitting to find the contour ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...
