Accurate automatic segmentation of subcortical brain structures in Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) is of great interest in the analysis of developmental disorders. Segmentation methods based on a single or multiple atlases have been shown to suitably localize brain structures. However, the atlas prior information may not represent the structure of interest correctly. It may therefore be useful ...

The phylogenetic relationships of the biflagellate protist group Apusomonadidae have been unclear despite the availability of some molecular data. We analyzed sequences from 6 nuclear encoded genes-small-subunit rRNA, large-subunit rRNA, alpha-tubulin, beta-tubulin, actin, and heat shock protein 90-to infer the phylogenetic position of Apusomonas proboscidea Aléxéieff 1924. To increase the taxo...

The present study investigated the inhibitory effects of saturated fatty acids on methanogenesis in Archaea, and whether or not competitive inactivation of the methanogens’ coenzyme M (HS-CoM) is involved in the inhibition. Strains tested in batch cultures were Methanosarcina barkeri, Methanosarcina mazei, Methanococcus voltae, all incubated at 37°C, and Methanothermobacter thermoautotrophicus,...

– We investigate the structure of colloid-polymer mixtures by calculating the structure factors for the Asakura-Oosawa model in the PY approximation. We discuss the role of potential range, polymer concentration and polymer-polymer interactions on the colloid-colloid structure. Our results compare reasonably well with the recent experiments of Moussäıd et al. (Moussäid A., Poon W. C. K., Pusey ...

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive and lethal tumor. Rapid response to chemotherapy radiotherapy observed in the majority of patients, but most them relapse within 6 12 months. Despite recent addition immunotherapy front-line chemotherapy, improvements progression-free overall survival are modest, with deaths occurring year diagnosis. SCLC heterogeneous can be divi...

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous and complex disease characterized by several chromosomal abnormalities gene mutations. This translates into marked response survival differences after treatment, being drug resistance, either primary or secondary, an additional challenge. Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1 (LSD1) epigenetic enzyme that contributes to the malignant t...
