Mathematical modelling of transcriptional heterogeneity identifies novel markers and subpopulations in complex tissues

Wang, Niya; Hoffman, Eric P.; Chen, Lulu; Chen, Li; Zhang, Zhen; Liu, Chunyu; Yu, Guoqiang; Herrington, David M.; Clarke, Robert; Wang, Yue (Springer Nature, 2016-01-07)

Tissue heterogeneity is both a major confounding factor and an underexploited information source. While a handful of reports have demonstrated the potential of supervised computational methods to deconvolute tissue ...

Adaptive Optical Scanning Holography

Tsang, P. W. M.; Poon, Ting-Chung; Liu, J. -P. (Springer Nature, 2016-02-26)

Optical Scanning Holography (OSH) is a powerful technique that employs a single-pixel sensor and a row-by-row scanning mechanism to capture the hologram of a wide-view, three-dimensional object. However, the time required ...

Circadian dynamics in measures of cortical excitation and inhibition balance

Chellappa, Sarah L.; Gaggioni, Giulia; Ly, Julien Q. M.; Papachilleos, Soterios; Borsu, Chloe; Brzozowski, Alexandre; Rosanova, Mario; Sarasso, Simone; Luxen, Andre; Middleton, Benita; Archer, Simon N.; Dijk, Derk-Jan; Massimini, Marcello; Maquet, Pierre; Phillips, Christophe; Moran, Rosalyn J.; Vandewalle, Gilles (Springer Nature, 2016-09-21)

Several neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders have recently been characterized as dysfunctions arising from a 'final common pathway' of imbalanced excitation to inhibition within cortical networks. How the regulation ...
