A Model-Based Hematopoietic Stem Cell Tracker
نویسندگان
چکیده
A better understanding of cell behavior is very important in drug and disease research. Cell size, shape, and motility may play a key role in stem-cell specialization or cancer development. However the traditional method of inferring these values manually is such an onerous task that automated methods of cell tracking and segmentation are in high demand. Image cytometry is a practical approach to measure and extract cell properties from large volumes of microscopic cell images. As an important application of image cytometry, this paper presents a probabilistic model based cell tracking method to locate and associate HSCs in phase contrast microscopic images. The proposed cell tracker has been successfully applied to track HSCs based on the most probable identified cell locations and probabilistic data association.

Background and Objective: Nowadays, although umbilical cord blood is a commonly used source of hematopoietic stem cell, its low frequency of these cells is the main factor limiting its clinical application. The transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells derived from placenta tissue along with umbilical cord blood cells of the same sample may be an appropriate approach to solve this problem. In...

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are reprogrammed from somatic cells through numerous transcription factors. Human induced pluripotent stem cell approaches are developing as a hopeful strategy to improve our knowledge of genetic association studies and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Rapid progression in stem cell therapy and cell reprogramming provides compelling reasons for its fe...

Background and purpose: Several studies investigated the role of C-reactive protein (CRP) during transplantation and inflammation, and clinical outcomes after stem cell transplantation. In this study, we examined the relationship between the earliest CRP level on admission day, and the first outcome after transplantation, myeloid and platelet engraftment, and the length of hospitalization in p...
