New MorphoBranch workbench uses LLM for cellular structure analysis

Researchers have developed MorphoBranch, a new workbench designed for the precise morphometric analysis of branched cellular structures like neurons and microglia. This system integrates a deterministic Morphometry Engine for image-to-graph processing and a novel LLM-assisted Refinement Engine that allows users to adjust parameters and execute tasks using natural language. Evaluations on public and in-house datasets demonstrated MorphoBranch's superior performance in skeleton accuracy and length estimation compared to existing methods, with its Refinement Engine achieving a high success rate in handling user requests.

    MorphoBranch: A Fine-Structure-Preserving Workbench for Morphometric Analysis of Branched Cellular Structures

    arXiv:2610.00860v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Background and Objectives: Fluorescence-labeled cellular arbors provide readouts of neuronal and microglial morphology, but fine and weakly labeled processes are prone to fragmentation and false connections that bias skeleton-base…
