摘要:
Methods for generating models for predicting biological activity of a stimulus test population of cells are provided. The models may be used to classify or predict the effect of stimuli on cells. In certain embodiments, the methods involve receiving data comprising values for dependent variables associated with stimuli; preparing a set of cell populations based on the data received; identifying a subset of the cell populations to be used in generating a model from data associated with the subset, wherein the model is provided to predict activity of a test population.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for analysis of images of cells and extraction of biologically significant features from the cell images, such as features located in cell boundary regions and cell-cell junctions. The extracted features may be correlated with particular conditions induced by biologically-active agents with which cells have been treated, thereby enabling the automated analysis of cells based on features that can be discovered in the cell boundary regions and cell-cell junctions of the images.
摘要:
Certain substituted urea derivatives modulate diskeletal myosin, skeletal actin, skeletal tropomyosin, skeletal troponin C, skeletal troponin I, skeletal troponin T, and skeletal muscle, including fragments and isoforms thereof, as well as the skeletal sarcomere, and are useful in the treatment of obesity, sarcopenia, wasting syndrome, frailty, muscle spasm, cachexia, neuromuscular diseases (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy, familial or acquired myopathies or muscular dystrophies), post-surgical and post-traumatic muscle weakness, and other conditions.
摘要:
Phenotypes and the cells that exhibit those phenotypes are described. The phenotype may be established as a "snapshot" of the cells at a particular time or it may be established as a variation in features over time, or as some combination of these "static" and "dynamic" characterizations. The phenotype may be characterized by at least the following features: (a) chromosomes that approach metaphase but fail to separate and maintain alignment compared to a control cell or cell population; (b) a bipolar spindle that is at least about 10% longer than a corresponding metaphase mitotic spindle from the control cell or cell population; and (c) during interphase the cell or population of cells exhibits a phenotype that is substantially similar to that of the interphase cells of the control cell or cell population.
