Investigating the role of allelochemicals in the interaction between Alexandrium monilatum and other phytoplankton species.

Species of the dinoflagellate genus Alexandrium can release bioactive extracellular compounds with allelopathic effects (e.g., immobilization, inhibition of growth, photosynthesis or lysis) towards other phytoplanktonic organisms.

Role of turbulence in Dinophysis spp. growth, feeding, and toxin leakage in culture.

Dinophysis, a mixotrophic dinoflagellate that is known to prey on the ciliate Mesodinium rubrum, and retain its chloroplasts, is responsible for diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) in humans and has been identified on all U.S. coasts.

Photoacclimation and photophysiology of four species of toxigenic Dinophysis.

This study aimed to explore the effects of different light intensities on the ecophysiology of eight new Dinophysis isolates comprising four species (D. acuminata, D. ovum, D.

WhARIO: whole-slide-image-based survival analysis for patients treated with immunotherapy.

Purpose: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are now one of the standards of care for patients with lung cancer and have greatly improved both progression-free and overall survival, although of the patients respond to the treatment, and some face acute adverse events. Although a few predictive biomarkers have integrated the clinical workflow, they require additional modalities on top of whole-slide images and lack efficiency or robustness. In this work, we propose a biomarker of immunotherapy outcome derived solely from the analysis of histology slides.

Comparison of physics-based deformable registration methods for image-guided neurosurgery.

This paper compares three finite element-based methods used in a physics-based non-rigid registration approach and reports on the progress made over the last 15 years. Large brain shifts caused by brain tumor removal affect registration accuracy by creating point and element outliers. A combination of approximation- and geometry-based point and element outlier rejection improves the rigid registration error by 2.
