We use open active contours to quantify cytoskeletal structures imaged by fluorescence microscopy in two and three dimensions. We developed an interactive software tool for …
Mechanobiology requires precise quantitative information on processes taking place in specific 3D microenvironments. Connecting the abundance of microscopical, molecular …
We investigate the dynamics of sedimenting Brownian filaments using experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches. The filaments under consideration are …
The authors introduce an edge detection and recovery framework based on open active contour models (snakelets) to mitigate the problem of noisy or broken edges produced by …
Fluorescence microscopy is frequently used to study two and three dimensional network structures formed by cytoskeletal polymer fibers such as actin filaments and actin cables …
Background The stress fibers are prominent organization of actin filaments that perform important functions in cellular processes such as migration, polarization, and traction force …
The actin cytoskeleton is essential in eukaryotes, not least in the plant kingdom where it plays key roles in cell expansion, cell division, environmental responses and pathogen …
Keratin intermediate filaments are dynamic cytoskeletal components that are responsible for tuning the mechanical properties of epithelial tissues. Although it is known that keratin …
Network structures formed by actin filaments are present in many kinds of fluorescence microscopy images. In order to quantify the conformations and dynamics of such actin …
