stMCP: Spatial Transcriptomics with a Model Context Protocol Server

The paper introduces stMCP, a framework for spatial transcriptomics analysis using natural language-driven protocols, enabling local execution and reducing data privacy and cost concerns.

Automated detection of blink reflexes evoked by optogenetic stimulation of TRPV1-expressing corneal nociceptors in transgenic mice

The paper introduces an automated method to detect blink reflexes in transgenic mice using optogenetic stimulation of TRPV1-expressing corneal nociceptors, achieving high accuracy with machine learning classifiers.

Automated 3D Segmentation of Human Vagus Nerve Fascicles and Epineurium from Micro-Computed Tomography Images Using Anatomy-Aware Neural Networks

This paper introduces a 3D U-Net with an anatomy-aware loss function for automated segmentation of human vagus nerve fascicles and epineurium from microCT images, achieving high accuracy and reducing anatomical errors.

Fascicles Split or Merge Every ~560 Microns Within the Human Cervical Vagus Nerve

The paper quantifies fascicular splitting and merging in human cervical vagus nerves, finding events occur every ~560 microns and may explain clinical response variability.
