SegVeg: Segmenting RGB images into green and senescent vegetation by combining deep and shallow methods

SegVeg segments RGB images into green and senescent vegetation using a hybrid deep and shallow learning approach, achieving high accuracy for green vegetation but lower for senescent and background.

Plant detection and counting from high-resolution RGB images acquired from UAVs: comparison between deep-learning and handcrafted methods with application to maize, sugar beet, and sunflower crops

This paper compares deep-learning and handcrafted methods for plant detection and counting in UAV-acquired RGB images of maize, sugar beet, and sunflower, finding that deep learning outperforms handcrafted methods, especially with weed management improvements.

Physically interacting beta-delta pairs in the regenerating pancreas revealed by single cell sequencing

The paper uses single-cell RNA-sequencing to identify physically interacting beta-delta cell pairs in the regenerating pancreas and finds they provide stress protection during regeneration.

Single Cell Analysis of Regions of Interest (SCARI) using a novel photoswitchable tag

The paper introduces a photoswitchable tag technology to isolate and analyze live cells from specific regions in complex tissues, enabling spatially defined single-cell RNA sequencing.

Cancer-associated fibroblast compositions change with breast cancer progression linking S100A4 and PDPN ratios with clinical outcome

The paper tracks changes in cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) subpopulations during breast cancer progression, linking their ratios to clinical outcomes and BRCA mutations.

Background radiation impacts human longevity and cancer mortality: Reconsidering the linear no-threshold paradigm

The paper examines the impact of background radiation on human longevity and cancer mortality, finding a positive association with lifespan extension and reduced cancer mortality in high-radiation areas.

Defining Monocyte Differentiation into Colonic and Ileal Macrophages

This study identifies factors and gene expression signatures involved in monocyte differentiation into colon and ileum-resident macrophages under non-inflammatory conditions.

Engrafted parenchymal brain macrophages differ from host microglia in transcriptome, epigenome and response to challenge

This study compares transcriptomes, epigenomes, and responses to challenge between engrafted HSC-derived brain macrophages and host microglia, finding persistent molecular and functional differences.
