RecoMed: A Knowledge-Aware Recommender System for Hypertension Medications [PDF]
Background and Objective High medicine diversity has always been a significant challenge for prescription, causing confusion or doubt in physicians' decision-making process. This paper aims to develop a medicine recommender system called RecoMed to aid the physician in the prescription process of hypertension by providing information about what ...

Tumescent Injections in Subcutaneous Pig Tissue Disperse Fluids Volumetrically and Maintain Elevated Local Concentrations of Additives for Several Hours, Suggesting a Treatment for Drug Resistant Wounds. [PDF]
PurposeBolus injection of fluid into subcutaneous tissue results in accumulation of fluid at the injection site. The fluid does not form a pool. Rather, the injection pressure forces the interstitial matrix to expand to accommodate the excess fluid in ...

Rescue of DNA damage after constricted migration reveals a mechano-regulated threshold for cell cycle. [PDF]
Migration through 3D constrictions can cause nuclear rupture and mislocalization of nuclear proteins, but damage to DNA remains uncertain, as does any effect on cell cycle.

Bleb Nucleation through Membrane Peeling [PDF]
We study the nucleation of blebs, i.e., protrusions arising from a local detachment of the membrane from the cortex of a cell. Based on a simple model of elastic linkers with force-dependent kinetics, we show that bleb nucleation is governed by membrane peeling.

Needle detection and localisation for robot‐assisted subretinal injection using deep learning
Abstract Subretinal injection is a complicated task for retinal surgeons to operate manually. In this paper we demonstrate a robust framework for needle detection and localisation in robot‐assisted subretinal injection using microscope‐integrated Optical Coherence Tomography with deep learning.

Actomyosin-based Self-organization of cell internalization during C. elegans gastrulation [PDF]
Background: Gastrulation is a key transition in embryogenesis; it requires self-organized cellular coordination, which has to be both robust to allow efficient development and plastic to provide adaptability. Despite the conservation of gastrulation as a

A novel function for the Caenorhabditis elegans torsin OOC-5 in nucleoporin localization and nuclear import. [PDF]
Torsin proteins are AAA+ ATPases that localize to the endoplasmic reticular/nuclear envelope (ER/NE) lumen. A mutation that markedly impairs torsinA function causes the CNS disorder DYT1 dystonia. Abnormalities of NE membranes have been linked to torsinA

Bleb formation in small unruptured intracranial aneurysm as a predictor of early rupture [PDF]
Small unruptured aneurysms are thought to have a low risk of rupture, but the management of such lesions is still controversial. A 73-year-old man with a small anterior communication artery aneurysm, 4 mm in diameter, while on follow-up, developed an ...

We review here recent studies reporting the importance of both nuclear lamina components and epigenetic modifications of chromatin in nuclear mechanics. Perturbation of chromatin condensation or nuclear lamina has been linked to a plethora of biological conditions whose most studied examples are accelerated Hutchinson‐Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS ...

The size, shape, and dynamics of cellular blebs [PDF]
A cellular bleb grows when a portion of the cell membrane detaches from the underlying cortex under the influence of a cytoplasmic pressure. We develop a quantitative model for the growth and dynamics of these objects in a simple two-dimensional setting.
