Pitfalls in measuring the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl glycerol in biological samples [PDF]
Background: The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) undergoes spontaneous isomerization to biologically inactive 1-AG. This effect has not been adequately addressed in previous studies that reported 2-AG concentrations in biological samples ...

ABSTRACT Background Early detection of melanoma significantly boosts patient survival rates. Deep learning has demonstrated dermatologist‐level accuracy in assessing pigmented skin lesions by analysing images at the pixel level. However, these neural networks may face challenges with ‘real‐life’ images due to limited training data and image artefacts ...
