One primary technical challenge in photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is the necessary compromise between spatial resolution and imaging speed. In this study, we propose a novel application of deep learning principles to reconstruct undersampled PAM images and transcend the trade-off between spatial resolution and imaging speed. We compared various convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures, and selected a Fully Dense U-net (FD U-net) model that produced the best results. To mimic various undersampling conditions in practice, we artificially downsampled fully-sampled PAM images of mouse brain vasculature at different ratios. This allowed us to not only definitively establish the ground truth, but also train and test our deep learning model at various imaging conditions. Our results and numerical analysis have collectively demonstrated the robust performance of our model to reconstruct PAM images with as few as 2% of the original pixels, which can effectively shorten the imaging time without substantially sacrificing the image quality.

UniAMP: enhancing AMP prediction using deep neural networks with inferred information of peptides.

BMC Bioinformatics

January 2025

College of Artificial Intelligence, Nanjing Agricultural University, Weigang No.1, Nanjing, 210095, Jiangsu, China.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been widely recognized as a promising solution to combat antimicrobial resistance of microorganisms due to the increasing abuse of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture around the globe. In this study, we propose UniAMP, a systematic prediction framework for discovering AMPs. We observe that feature vectors used in various existing studies constructed from peptide information, such as sequence, composition, and structure, can be augmented and even replaced by information inferred by deep learning models.

Biomedical research increasingly relies on three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models and artificial-intelligence-based analysis can potentially facilitate a detailed and accurate feature extraction on a single-cell level. However, this requires for a precise segmentation of 3D cell datasets, which in turn demands high-quality ground truth for training. Manual annotation, the gold standard for ground truth data, is too time-consuming and thus not feasible for the generation of large 3D training datasets.
