The complex collagen network of the native meniscus and the gradient of the density and alignment of this network through the meniscal enthesis is essential for the proper mechanical function of these tissues. This architecture is difficult to recapi...

Hyaluronic acid was proposed to support soft tissue recession surgery and guided tissue regeneration. The molecular mechanisms through which hyaluronic acid modulates the response of connective tissue cells remain elusive. To elucidate the impact of...

Knowledge of the impact of chemicals on the environment is important for assessing the risks that chemicals can generate in ecosystems. With the help of pilot-scale micro-tests, it was possible to evaluate the biological sludge in terms of its chemic...

Lymphocytes are generally non-adherent. This makes it challenging to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) structures mimicking the three-dimensional lymphoma microenvironment in vivo. This study presents the fabrication of a hemispherical 3D lymphoma mod...

Most existing methods for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction with deep learning use fully supervised training, which assumes that a fully sampled dataset with a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is available for training. In many circumst...

In recent years, image-guided brachytherapy for cervical cancer has become an important treatment method for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, and multi-modality image registration technology is a key step in this system. However, due t...

Accurate segmentation of brain tumors in MRI scans is critical for diagnosis and treatment planning. Traditional segmentation models, such as U-Net, excel in capturing spatial information but often struggle with complex tumor boundaries and subtle va...

Nannochloris sp. JB17 has been identified as an interesting microalgal species that can tolerate high salinity and high bicarbonate concentrations. In this study, Nannochloris sp. JB17 was long-term adapted to increased bicarbonate concentrations (10...

This study aimed to optimize CT esophagography by identifying effective oral contrast dilution ratios and exploring the advantages of dual-energy CT (DECT) over conventional CT for improving image quality. Ex vivo experiments using iodine contrast ag...

Thigh muscles greatly influence knee joint loading, and abnormal loading significantly contributes to the progression of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Muscle weakness in KOA patients is common, but the specific contribution of each thigh muscle to joint...
