AI automates 3D membrane mapping, matching manual results in a fraction of time
Cell membranes and the proteins within them control many vital processes and play a key role in health and disease. But studying them in 3D images of cells has so far meant slow, manual work.
AI Summary
Scientists from Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich, and the Biozentrum of the University of Basel have released MemBrain v2, an artificial‑intelligence tool that automates the mapping of cell membranes and their proteins in 3‑D images. The new software reduces the time required for this analysis from weeks to only a few hours. The development was reported in a study published in Nature Methods.
