This video describes a method for preparing glass coverslips coated with polyornithine and laminin to enhance the adhesion and growth of neural stem cells. The technique involves sequential incubations and washes, facilitating the formation of a supportive matrix that promotes neuronal cell growth and differentiation, mimicking structures found in the neurons.

Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University How do people find objects in cluttered visual scenes? Think, for example, of looking for keys on a messy desk, finding the ripest-looking fruit at the grocery store, locating your car when you can’t quite remember where you parked it, or finding an old friend at an airport exit gate. Clearly, an understanding of visual perception is going to play a role in any answers, and more specifically, an understanding of visual attention...

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions. These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

An accurate and practical method to measure parameters like strain in myocardial tissue is of great clinical value, since it has been shown, that strain is a more sensitive and earlier marker for contractile dysfunction than the frequently used parameter EF.
FAQs
Lateral connections combine information from corresponding levels of the bottom-up convolutional hierarchy with the top-down pathway. This pairing allows semantically rich features to retain finer spatial detail instead of relying only on coarse representations. In medical images, that combination supports more precise localization of lesions, anatomical structures, and other findings with clearly defined or irregular boundaries.
The top-down pathway carries high-level semantic information toward finer-resolution feature levels. As a result, detailed spatial representations can be interpreted using broader contextual information rather than in isolation. This is important when an abnormality is small but must be distinguished from surrounding anatomy, because recognition depends on both its location and the surrounding visual context.
Different medical-image findings can occupy very different sizes, from relatively small abnormalities to larger anatomical structures. Representing the image at several spatial scales gives the model access to both fine detail and broader structure. That design is especially relevant for detecting small or irregular findings that could be poorly represented if analysis emphasized only one scale.
Processing begins with a bottom-up hierarchy of convolutional features that captures visual information at progressively different levels. A top-down pathway then passes higher-level semantic information toward finer representations, while lateral connections merge corresponding features. The resulting multiscale representations can be supplied to downstream object-detection or segmentation analyses of medical images.
For object detection, the multiscale representations help locate findings such as lesions or anatomical structures within an image. For segmentation, they help preserve information needed to delineate regions rather than merely identify their presence. Combining contextual information with spatial detail therefore supports analyses that require both recognition and localization in computer-assisted medical imaging.
The architecture is suited to radiological and microscopic images in which relevant structures may differ in size or appearance. Its reported uses include locating lesions, identifying anatomical structures, and characterizing abnormalities. These applications make the approach relevant to computer-assisted diagnosis, where reliable recognition must be paired with information about where a finding appears.
Computer-assisted diagnosis benefits when a system can identify an abnormality while also preserving its position and extent within the image. The architecture's combination of high-level context and finer spatial detail is intended to strengthen that capability, particularly for small or irregular findings. This can make its outputs more informative for interpreting radiological or microscopic abnormalities.
