Morphology-inspired Unsupervised Gland Segmentation via Selective Semantic Grouping [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Designing deep learning algorithms for gland segmentation is crucial for automatic cancer diagnosis and prognosis, yet the expensive annotation cost hinders the development and application of this technology. In this paper, we make a first attempt to explore a deep learning method for unsupervised gland segmentation, where no manual annotations are ...

Antibacterial effects of natural compounds on biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1426-1433, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Streptococcus mutans is the main cariogenic pathogen in the oral cavity, considered to contribute toward oral diseases. S. mutans is predominantly entrapped in plaque biofilms. Objectives In this study, we surveyed the antibacterial activity of natural compounds in terms of the biofilm production of S. mutans. Material and Methods We extracted
