behind DeXtrusion: an automated pipeline to detect epithelial cell extrusion through machine learning

Posted by alvillars, on 6 October 2023

The problem In animals, epithelial tissue covers most of our organs. In order to create the very intricate and complex shapes of these organs, these tissues are drastically remodelled during embryogenesis through growth and shape changes. Once they achieve these final shapes, they maintain their cell number in a dynamic equilibrium. Both of these mechanisms,
