Watershed is a widespread technique for image segmentation. Many researchers apply the
method implemented in open source libraries without a deep understanding of its …

Watershed is a widely used image segmentation algorithm. Most researchers understand
just an idea of this method: a grayscale image is considered as topographic relief, which is …

The airway epithelium serves as the interface between the host and external environment. In
many chronic lung diseases, the airway is the site of substantial remodeling after injury …

Mahotas is a computer vision library for Python. It contains traditional image processing
functionality such as filtering and morphological operations as well as more modern …

Chronic disease results from the failure of tissues to maintain homeostasis. In the lung,
coordinated repair of the epithelium is essential for preserving homeostasis. In animal …

In collective cell migration, the motion results from forces produced by each cell and
transmitted to the neighboring cells and to the substrate. Because inertia is negligible and …

Epithelia grow and undergo extensive rearrangements to achieve their final size and shape.
Imaging the dynamics of tissue growth and morphogenesis is now possible with advances in …

Mechanical forces play a key role in a wide range of biological processes, from
embryogenesis to cancer metastasis, and there is considerable interest in the intuitive …

Cell classification refers to detecting normal and diseased cells from small amount of data.
Sometimes, classification of cells becomes difficult because some cells fall into more than …

Each cell comprising an intact, healthy, confluent epithelial layer ordinarily remains
sedentary, firmly adherent to and caged by its neighbors, and thus defines an elemental …
