    A diffusible small-RNA-based Turing system dynamically coordinates organ polarity

    The formation of a flat and thin leaf presents a developmentally challenging problem, requiring intricate regulation of adaxial–abaxial (top–bottom) polarity. The patterning principles controlling the spatial ...

    Structure-Preserving Multi-domain Stain Color Augmentation Using Style-Transfer with Disentangled Representations

    In digital pathology, different staining procedures and scanners cause substantial color variations in whole-slide images (WSIs), especially across different laboratories. These color shifts result in a poor g...

    Haematopoietic stem cells in perisinusoidal niches are protected from ageing

    With ageing, intrinsic haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activity decreases, resulting in impaired tissue homeostasis, reduced engraftment following transplantation and increased susceptibility to diseases. Howev...
