Consensus-Based Definitions for Vocal Biomarkers: The International VOCAL Initiative.

Introduction: Voice-based health technologies are growing rapidly, but they lack standardized terminology, which hinders interdisciplinary collaboration, research quality, and clinical translation. The objective of this work was to develop universally accepted definitions in the...

Analysis of structural errors in the AlphaFold DB v4 and v6

3D protein structures predicted using machine-learning techniques have become routinely used in research. One of the major sources of the predicted structures is the AlphaFold DB, providing predictions for over 240 million proteins. For a proper interpretation of predicted protei...

Past and present phage therapy research and practice in the Czech Republic – contribution to phage therapy in Europe

Renewed interest in bacteriophage therapy, driven by the global rise of antimicrobial resistance, is accelerating efforts to establish its rational, evidence-based use in clinical practice. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the historical milestones, current status...

PAT: An Image Analysis Tool for Automated Scoring of Pollen in Alexander-Stained Anthers

Abstract Quantitative pollen viability analysis is a critical but labor-intensive step in plant reproductive biology. Existing deep-learning Segment Anything Models (SAM) fail to reliably segment viable pollen in Alexander-stained anthers. To address this, we fine-tuned an existi...
