Global well-posedness and nonlinear stability of a chemotaxis system modeling multiple sclerosis [PDF]
We consider a system of reaction-diffusion equations including chemotaxis terms and coming out of the modeling of multiple sclerosis. The global existence of strong solutions to this system in any dimension is proved, and it is also shown that the solution is bounded uniformly in time.

Multiple Sclerosis Lesion Segmentation from Brain MRI via Fully Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that leads to lesions in the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance (MR) images provide sufficient imaging contrast to visualize and detect lesions, particularly those in the white matter. Quantitative measures based on various features of lesions have been shown to be useful in clinical trials for ...
