Describing the association of morphological changes in dendritic spines with long - term synaptic plasticity (kavlifoundation.org)
In addition to testing the technique on normal and cancerous breast, prostate, lung, colon, pancreas, kidney, liver and ovarian tissues, the team created a mathematical model based on morphological features of cells» nuclei to better discriminate between early, pre-cancerous lesions with high a probability of progressing to cancer and those with less probably of progressing to disease.

At UMass, Gwiazdowski and Normark looked at genetic variation using genes throughout the genome, while at the AMNH Vea looked for morphological differences in specimens mounted on microscope slides. (sciencedaily.com)
