DUNet: A deformable network for retinal vessel segmentation [PDF]
Knowledge-Based Systems, 2018 Automatic segmentation of retinal vessels in fundus images plays an important role in the diagnosis of some diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. In this paper, we propose Deformable U-Net (DUNet), which exploits the retinal vessels’ local features

Macrophage Extracellular Traps in Immunity and Cancer
Advanced Science, EarlyView.As a macrophage‐mediated innate defense mechanism, the dysregulated release of METs drives chronic inflammation and influences tumor progression. Furthermore, METs exhibit a functional duality within the tumor microenvironment, capable of both promoting and suppressing tumor development.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An activity‐dependent pathway links prefrontal circuit hypoactivity to cognitive impairment. Reduced PVA–mPFC activity upregulates NEPAS, which suppresses PTX3 secretion, leading to impaired angiogenesis, myelin deficits, and memory decline. Rescue is achieved by NEPAS knockdown or chemogenetic circuit activation.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.

Mechanisms of Pericyte‐Mediated Cancer Metastasis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Pericytes play multifarious roles in promoting cancer metastasis by facilitating metastatic cancer cell dissemination, circulating tumor cell survival, tissue extravasation, premetastatic niche formation, and metastatic tumor growth. These cells have intertwined interactions with vascular endothelial cells to modulate cancer cell behavior and ...

Sono‐Mechanogenetics: Linking Ultrasound Physics With Cellular Mechanobiology
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Sono‐mechanogenetics links ultrasound physics with cellular mechanotransduction to enable noninvasive control of engineered biological systems. Acoustic forces generate distinct deformation modes that activate intracellular signaling pathways, which can be coupled to synthetic gene circuits to regulate diverse cellular functions, including gene ...

Characterization of retinal vessels by fractal analysis: its importance in pathology
Applied Medical Informatics, 2019 The retinal circulation is the only part of human circulation that can be directly observed by ophthalmosopy. By this assessment, a lot of connection between the appearances of retinal microcirculation has been already established.

Twin vessels in familial retinal cavernous hemangioma
, 1990 We investigated the presence of twin vessels in two patients and in four of their relatives at risk from one family with autosomal-dominant hereditary cavernous hemangioma of the retina associated with central nervous system involvement.
