AbstractThe ability of cells to sense and respond to extracellular forces is critical for cellular and tissue homeostasis. Tension or compression act on our body ubiquitously and cells respond to such mechanical cues by producing intracellular forces on their own. In this article, we briefly highlight the cellular and physical basis driving these phenomena and discuss our recent technical advance to stimulate and monitor the cellular mechanoresponse on a molecular scale.

It is well known that neurons communicate through synapses in the nervous system, and the size, morphology, and connectivity of synapses determine the functional properties of the neural network. Therefore, synapses have always been one of the key objects of neuroscience. Due to the technical advance in electron microscope (EM), the physical structure of synapses can be observed at high resolution. Nevbarheless, to date, the automatic analysis of the synapse in EM images is still a challenging task. In this paper, we proposed a fractal dimension-based segmentation method for synaptic clef of mouse cortex on EM image stack. Our method does not require a lot of groundtruth to train the model, and shows better adaptive anti-noise performance. That should be ascribed to the stability of segmentation-related key parameters in the data from same tissue. In this way, we only need to give initial values, and then gradually adjust these key parameters. Experiments reveal that our method achieves the desired results, and reduces the time in artificial annotating, so that researchers can focus more on the analysis of segmentation results.
