Parametric Facial Expression Synthesis and Animation
In this paper, we proposed a parametric model based facial animation synthesis. In the proposed algorithm various facial expressions are generated using the parametric models and the novelty of the algorithm is that new expressions can be generated by blending selected expressions.

Multi‐factor joint normalisation for face recognition in the wild
Face recognition has become very challenging in unconstrained conditions due to strong intra‐personal variations, such as large pose changes. Face normalisation can help to resolve these problems and effectively improve the face recognition performance ...

TrkB signaling is required for postnatal survival of CNS neurons and protects hippocampal and motor neurons from axotomy-induced cell death [PDF]
Newborn mice carrying targeted mutations in genes encoding neurotrophins or their signaling Trk receptors display severe neuronal deficits in the peripheral nervous system but not in the CNS. In this study, we show that trkB (¿/¿) mice have a significant

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Facial Expression Synthesis by U-Net Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks
High-level manipulation of facial expressions in images such as expression synthesis is challenging because facial expression changes are highly non-linear, and vary depending on the facial appearance. Identity of the person should also be well preserved

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Relating Objective and Subjective Performance Measures for AAM-based Visual Speech Synthesizers [PDF]
We compare two approaches for synthesizing visual speech using Active Appearance Models (AAMs): one that utilizes acoustic features as input, and one that utilizes a phonetic transcription as input.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
