STOCHASTIC METHODS FOR INFERRING STATES OF CELL MIGRATION

Stochastic Methods for Inferring States of Cell Migration

Cell migration refers to the ability of cells to translocate across a substrate or through a matrix.To achieve net movement requires spatiotemporal regulation of the actin cytoskeleton.Computational approaches are necessary to identify and quantify the regulatory mechanisms that generate directed cell movement.To address this need, we developed com

An Efficient Audio Coding Scheme for Quantitative and Qualitative Large Scale Acoustic Monitoring Using the Sensor Grid Approach

The spreading of urban areas and the growth of human population worldwide raise societal and environmental concerns.To better address these concerns, the monitoring of the acoustic environment in urban as well as rural or wilderness areas is an important matter.Building on the recent development of low cost hardware acoustic sensors, we propose in

Large vesicle extrusions from C. elegans neurons are consumed and stimulated by glial-like phagocytosis activity of the neighboring cell

Caenorhabditis elegans neurons under stress can produce giant vesicles, several microns in diameter, called exophers.Current models suggest that exophers are neuroprotective, providing a Fry Pans mechanism for stressed neurons to eject toxic protein aggregates and organelles.However, little is known of the fate of the exopher once it leaves the neu
