SELF-SUPERVISED ISOTROPIC SUPERRESOLUTION FETAL BRAIN MRI
Michaël Unser, Meritxell Bach Cuadra
Superresolution T2-weighted fetal-brain magnetic-resonance imaging (FBMRI) traditionally relies on the availability of several orthogonal low-resolution series of 2-dimensional thick slices (volumes). In practice, only a few low-resolution volumes are acqu ...
New York2023Prenatal auditory experience and its sequelae
Lukas Vogelsang, Marin Vogelsang
Towards the end of the second trimester of gestation, a human fetus is able to register environmental sounds. This in utero auditory experience is characterized by comprising strongly low-pass-filtered versions of sounds from the external world. Here, we p ...
WILEY2022Slice Estimation in Diffusion MRI of Neonatal and Fetal Brains in Image and Spherical Harmonics Domains Using Autoencoders
Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard, Thomas Yu, Hamza Kebiri
Diffusion MRI (dMRI) of the developing brain can provide valuable insights into the white matter development. However, slice thickness in fetal dMRI is typically high (i.e., 3-5 mm) to freeze the in-plane motion, which reduces the sensitivity of the dMRI s ...
SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG2022Through-Plane Super-Resolution With Autoencoders in Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Developing Human Brain
Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard, Hamza Kebiri
Fetal brain diffusion magnetic resonance images (MRI) are often acquired with a lower through-plane than in-plane resolution. This anisotropy is often overcome by classical upsampling methods such as linear or cubic interpolation. In this work, we employ a ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022An automatic multi-tissue human fetal brain segmentation benchmark using the Fetal Tissue Annotation Dataset
Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Hamza Kebiri
It is critical to quantitatively analyse the developing human fetal brain in order to fully understand neurodevelopment in both normal fetuses and those with congenital disorders. To facilitate this analysis, automatic multi-tissue fetal brain segmentation ...
NATURE RESEARCH2021The Periostin/Integrin-alpha v Axis Regulates the Size of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Pool in the Fetal Liver
We earlier showed that outside-in integrin signaling through POSTN-ITGAV interaction plays an important role in regulating adult he-matopoietic stem cell (HSC) quiescence. Here, we show that Itgav deletion results in increased frequency of phenotypic HSCs ...
2020DUX is a non-essential synchronizer of zygotic genome activation
Didier Trono, Sonia Verp, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Delphine Yvette L Grun, Alberto De Iaco
Some of the earliest transcripts produced in fertilized human and mouse oocytes code for DUX, a double homeodomain protein that promotes embryonic genome activation (EGA). Deleting Dux by genome editing at the 1- to 2-cell stage in the mouse impairs EGA an ...
2019The double-edged toxins
Many insect species are associated with endosymbiotic bacteria which have the particularity of living within host tissues. Endosymbionts benefit from this stable and nutritious environment, while providing ecological advantages to their host, such as prote ...
EPFL2018Fighting preterm birth with novel surgical tools and biomaterials engineering
With advances in fetal diagnosis and therapy, fetoscopy has become a good option to treat a series of life threatening diseases like twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome or severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The efficacy of fetoscopy for those types of d ...
EPFL2017Transcriptomic regulations in oligodendroglial and microglial cells related to brain damage following fetal growth restriction
Yohan Van de Looij, Maxime Olivier Baud
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a major complication of human pregnancy, frequently resulting from placental vascular diseases and prenatal malnutrition, and is associated with adverse neurocognitive outcomes throughout life. However, the mechanisms link ...
