06/2020 - KMT2B and Neuronal Transdifferentiation: Bridging Basic Chromatin Mechanisms to Disease Actionability
The role of bona fide epigenetic regulators in the process of neuronal transdifferentiation was until recently largely uncharacterized, despite their key role in the physiological processes of neural fate acquisition and maintenance. In this commentary, we describe the main findings of our recent paper “KMT2B is selectively required for neuronal transdifferentiation, and its loss exposes dystonia candidate […]
06/2020 - Evaluating the effect of healthcare providers on the clinical path of heart failure patients through a semi-Markov, multi-state model
Background Investigating similarities and differences among healthcare providers, on the basis of patient healthcare experience, is of interest for policy making. Availability of high quality, routine health databases allows a more detailed analysis of performance across multiple outcomes, but requires appropriate statistical methodology. Methods Motivated by analysis of a clinical administrative database of 42,871 Heart […]

06/2020 - DenoiSeg: Joint Denoising and Segmentation
Microscopy image analysis often requires the segmentation of objects, but training data for this task is typically scarce and hard to obtain. Here we propose DenoiSeg, a new method that can be trained end-to-end on only a few annotated ground truth segmentations. We achieve this by extending Noise2Void, a self-supervised denoising scheme that can be […]
06/2020 - DivNoising: Diversity Denoising with Fully Convolutional Variational Autoencoders
Deep Learning based methods have emerged as the indisputable leaders for virtually all image restoration tasks. Especially in the domain of microscopy images, various content-aware image restoration (CARE) approaches are now used to improve the interpretability of acquired data. But there are limitations to what can be restored in corrupted images, and any given method […]
