BrainPrint: A discriminative characterization of brain morphology [PDF]
We introduce BrainPrint, a compact and discriminative representation of brain morphology. BrainPrint captures shape information of an ensemble of cortical and subcortical structures by solving the eigenvalue problem of the 2D and 3D Laplace–Beltrami ...

A Nanoparticle Size Series for In Vivo Fluorescence Imaging [PDF]
A nanoparticle toolset was created within the size limits of 10–150 nm for probing size-dependent nanoparticle distribution in solid tumors. By using multiphoton intravital microscopy, the particles were tracked both spatially and temporally in the same ...

Organocatalyst treatment improves variant calling and mutant detection in archival clinical samples
Formalin fixation of biological specimens damages nucleic acids and limits their use in genomic analyses. Previously, we showed that RNA isolation with an organocatalyst (2-amino-5-methylphenyl phosphonic acid, used to speed up reversal of formalin ...

Genome editing with Cas9 in adult mice corrects a disease mutation and phenotype [PDF]
We demonstrate CRISPR-Cas9–mediated correction of a Fah mutation in hepatocytes in a mouse model of the human disease hereditary tyrosinemia. Delivery of components of the CRISPR-Cas9 system by hydrodynamic injection resulted in initial expression of the

Measuring single cell mass, volume, and density with dual suspended microchannel resonators [PDF]
Cell size, measured as either volume or mass, is a fundamental indicator of cell state. Far more tightly regulated than size is density, the ratio between mass and volume, which can be used to distinguish between cell populations even when volume and ...

Informatics research using publicly available pathology data
The day has not arrived when pathology departments freely distribute their collected anatomic and clinical data for research purposes. Nonetheless, several valuable public domain data sets are currently available, from the U.S. Government.

Epithelial–Mesenchymal Plasticity: A Central Regulator of Cancer Progression [PDF]
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program has emerged as a central driver of tumor malignancy. Moreover, the recently uncovered link between passage through an EMT and acquisition of stem-like properties indicates that activation of the EMT ...

The Carcinogenic Potency Database: Analyses of 4000 Chronic Animal Cancer Experiments Published in the General Literature and by the U.S. National Cancer Institute/National Toxicology Program [PDF]
The Carcinogenic Potency Database (CPDB) is an easily accessible, standardized resource of positive and negative long-term animal cancer tests. The CPDB has been published in four earlier papers that include results for approximately 4000 experiments on 1050 chemicals. This paper describes the CPDB: goals, inclusion criteria, fields of information, and
