Small changes in retinal blood vessels may produce different pathological disorders which may further cause blindness.Therefore, accurate extraction of vasculature map of retinal fundus image has become a challenging task for analysis of different pathologies.The present study offers an unsupervised method for extraction of vasculature map from ret
Abstract Background The opportunistic pathogen Naegleria fowleri establishes infection in the human brain, killing almost invariably within 2 weeks.The amoeba performs piece-meal ingestion, or trogocytosis, of brain material causing direct tissue damage and massive inflammation.The cellular basis distinguishing N.fowleri from other Naegleria specie
The number of stem/progenitor cells available can profoundly impact tissue homeostasis and the response to injury or disease.Here, we propose that an atypical PKC, Prkci, is a key player in regulating the switch from an expansion to a differentiation/maintenance phase via regulation of St. John’s Wort Notch, thus linking the polarity pathway with
