Colour-based computer image processing approach to melanoma diagnosis
(2017)
Melanoma is one of the most prevalent skin cancers in the world. The incidence and mortality rates of melanoma in Australian populations have been sharply increasing over the last decades. For instance, it is represented ...
Friedreich's ataxia induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes display electrophysiological abnormalities and calcium handling deficiency
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-05-01)
We sought to identify the impacts of Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) on cardiomyocytes. FRDA is an autosomal recessive degenerative condition with neuronal and non-neuronal manifestations, the latter including progressive ...
Visual cues for manual control of headway
(FRONTIERS RESEARCH FOUNDATION, 2013-05-21)
The ability to maintain appropriate gaps to objects in one's environment is important when navigating through a three-dimensional world. Previous research has shown that the visual angle subtended by a lead/approaching ...
A detailed, conductance-based computer model of intrinsic sensory neurons of the gastrointestinal tract
(AMER PHYSIOLOGICAL SOC, 2014-09-01)
Intrinsic sensory neurons (ISNs) of the enteric nervous system respond to stimuli such as muscle tension, muscle length, distortion of the mucosa, and the chemical content in the lumen. ISNs form recurrent networks that ...
Neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells extend long-distance axonal projections through growth along host white matter tracts after intra-cerebral transplantation
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2012-03-22)
Human pluripotent stem cells have the capacity for directed differentiation into a wide variety of neuronal subtypes that may be useful for brain repair. While a substantial body of research has lead to a detailed understanding ...
2-DIMENSIONAL DIFFUSION OF AMPHIPHILES IN PHOSPHOLIPID MONOLAYERS AT THE AIR-WATER-INTERFACE
(CELL PRESS, 1993-12-01)
Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy has been used to examine lateral diffusion in dipalmitoyl-L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dimyristoyl-L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) monolayers at the ...
Feasibility of a Chronic, Minimally Invasive Endovascular Neural Interface
(IEEE, 2016-01-01)
Development of a neural interface that can be implanted without risky, open brain surgery will increase the safety and viability of chronic neural recording arrays. We have developed a minimally invasive surgical procedure ...
Three-dimensional modelling of auxetic sandwich panels for localised impact resistance
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2017-05-01)
Sandwich panels with auxetic lattice cores confined between metallic facets are proposed for localised impact resistance applications. Their performance under localised impact is numerically studied, considering the ...
Decellularized extracellular matrices produced from immortal cell lines derived from different parts of the placenta support primary mesenchymal stem cell expansion
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017-02-02)
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) exhibit undesired phenotypic changes during ex vivo expansion, limiting production of the large quantities of high quality primary MSCs needed for both basic research and cell therapies. ...
IDH1 mutation is associated with seizures and protoplasmic subtype in patients with low-grade gliomas
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2014-09-01)
OBJECTIVE: The isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) R132H mutation is the most common mutation in World Health Organization (WHO) grade II gliomas, reported to be expressed in 70-80%, but only 5-10% of high grade gliomas. Low ...
