Journal ArticleDOI
Online palmprint identification
TL;DR: The system consists of a novel device for online palmprint image acquisition and an efficient algorithm for fast palmprint recognition, and a robust image coordinate system is defined to facilitate image alignment for feature extraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noncanonical Inflammasome Activation by Intracellular LPS Independent of TLR4
Nobuhiko Kayagaki,Michael Wong,Irma B. Stowe,Sree R. Ramani,Lino C. Gonzalez,Sachiko Akashi-Takamura,Kensuke Miyake,Juan Zhang,Wyne P. Lee,Artur Muszyński,Lennart S. Forsberg,Russell W. Carlson,Vishva M. Dixit +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that macrophages loaded with synthetic lipid A, E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or S. typhimurium LPS activate caspase-11 independently of the LPS receptor Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), revealing a TLR4-independent mechanism for innate immune recognition of LPS.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Resonant Retina: Exploiting Vibration Noise to Optimally Detect Edges in an Image
TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors presented a new biometric approach to online personal identification using palmprint technology, which consists of two parts: a novel device for online palmprint image acquisition and an efficient algorithm for fast palmprint recognition.

TL;DR: This paper identifies diverse cell types, including multiple progenitor and neuronal subtypes, and identifies EGR1 and FOS as previously unreported candidate targets of Notch signaling in human but not mouse radial glia by microfluidic single-cell capture and low-coverage sequencing of many cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term and short-term electrophysiological effects of estrogen on the synaptic properties of hippocampal CA1 neurons.
Michael Wong,Robert L. Moss +1 more
TL;DR: 17 beta-estradiol potentiated the responses to alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid, kainate, and quisqualate, but not NMDA, further implicating non-NMDA receptors in the short-term action of estrogen, and had no effect on responses to exogenous GABA or on the Schaffer collateral- induced late IPSP.
