Absence of platelet phenotype in mice lacking the motor protein myosin Va.
BACKGROUND: The motor protein myosin Va plays an important role in the trafficking of intracellular vesicles. Mutation of the Myo5a gene causes Griscelli syndrome type 1 in humans and the dilute phenotype in mice, which are both...
A Visual Acuity Assessment System Based on Static Gesture Recognition and Naive Bayes Classifier
Visual Acuity (VA) assessment is crucial for early vision screening, yet traditional methods are manual and time-consuming. Despite the advancements in human-computer interaction (HCI), there is no existing system fully...
