FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

A modified K3M thinning algorithm
International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2016 The K3M thinning algorithm is a general method for image data reduction by skeletonization. It had proved its feasibility in most cases as a reliable and robust solution in typical applications of thinning, particularly in preprocessing for optical ...

Testing Foundations of Biological Scaling Theory Using Automated Measurements of Vascular Networks
, 2015 Scientists have long sought to understand how vascular networks supply blood and oxygen to cells throughout the body. Recent work focuses on principles that constrain how vessel size changes through branching generations from the aorta to capillaries and

On skeletonization in 4D images [PDF]
, 1996 In this paper we extended the 3D Skeletonization method based on Euler number count & cluster count to 4D. As the Euler sum in 4D is always 0, we solved this by embedding 4D objects in a 5D space to calculate the 5D Euler number. The 5D Euler number changes due to 3 events: 1D tunnels, 2D tunnels and 3D tunnels.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Segmentation and morphological analysis of amyloid fibrils from cryo-EM image data
Journal of Mathematics in Industry, 2023 Fast assessment of the composition of amyloid fibril samples from cryo-EM data poses a serious challenge to existing image analysis tools. We develop a method for automated segmentation of single fibrils requiring only little user input during the ...

Sensors, 2022 The increase in the number of tillers of rice significantly affects grain yield. However, this is measured only by the manual counting of emerging tillers, where the most common method is to count by hand touching.

Brain Tumor Vascular Network Segmentation from Micro-Tomography [PDF]
, 2011 Micro-tomography produces high resolution images of bio- logical structures such as vascular networks. In this paper, we present a new approach for segmenting vascular network into pathological and normal regions from considering their micro-vessel 3D ...

FEBS 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 ...
