Semi-automated quantification of filopodial dynamics.
Cellular motility underlies critical physiological processes including embryogenesis, metastasis and wound healing. Nerve cells undergo cellular migration during development and also extend neuronal processes for long distances through a complex microenvironment to appropriately wire the nervous system. The growth cone is a highly dynamic structure that responds to extracellular cues by extendi...
متن کاملAssessment of Micro-vessel Density in Brain Glioma by CD105 Expression
Background& Objective: Micro-vascular proliferation is an important histological feature of brain glioma with more vascular proliferation is present in higher grades of glioma. CD 105 is expressed in new actively proliferating and immature endothelial cells in tumor environment and appears to be capable to distinguish between malignant neo-vasculature and normal vesse...
متن کاملAutomated quantification of keratocyte density by using confocal microscopy in vivo.
PURPOSE To compare keratocyte density determined by using confocal microscopy with keratocyte density determined in the same corneas by histology. METHODS Digital en face images of central corneas were recorded three times by using confocal microscopy in vivo in six New Zealand White rabbits. Bright objects (keratocyte nuclei) in the images were automatically identified by using a custom algo...
متن کاملRapid and Semi-automated Extraction of Neuronal Cell Bodies and Nuclei from Electron Microscopy Image Stacks.
Connectomics-the study of how neurons wire together in the brain-is at the forefront of modern neuroscience research. However, many connectomics studies are limited by the time and precision needed to correctly segment large volumes of electron microscopy (EM) image data. We present here a semi-automated segmentation pipeline using freely available software that can significantly decrease segme...
متن کاملImpact of radiotherapy on normal brain tissue: semi-automated quantification of decrease in perfusion.
PURPOSE We attempted to ascertain the impact of Co-60 conventional external radiotherapy (cRT) on the perfusion of normal brain tissue in relation to the radiation doses delivered to the tumors in patients with primary brain tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS After surgery 18 patients (pts) were due to undergo cRT with a total dose of 5400- 6400 cGy. All the patients had a Tc-99m-HMPAO SPECT study...
