Automatic segmentation and 3D feature extraction of protein aggregates in Caenorhabditis elegans

In the last years, it has become increasingly clear that neurodegenerative diseases involve protein aggregation, a process often used as disease progression readout and to develop therapeutic strategies. This work presents an image processing tool to automatic segment, classify and quantify these ag...
