Automatic segmentation of clear cell renal cell tumors, kidney, and cysts in patients with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome using U-net architecture on magnetic resonance images [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We demonstrate automated segmentation of clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC), cysts, and surrounding normal kidney parenchyma in patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome using convolutional neural networks (CNN) on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). We queried 115 VHL patients and 117 scans (3 patients have two separate scans) with 504 ccRCCs

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...
