Abstract

Vesicle exocytosis is a fundamental component of intercellular communication, in all organisms. It has been studied for decades, using various imaging tools. Nevertheless, exocytosis research is still limited by the lack of reliable automated analysis procedures. To address this, we developed the Intelligent Vesicle Exocytosis Analysis Platform (IVEA), a nearly universal solution for analyzing exocytosis acquired with live cell imaging. IVEA is applicable to a wide variety of experimental model systems, microscopes and reporter fluorophores. IVEA combines state-of-the-art deep-learning and computer vision regimes to enable fully automated analysis of large data. IVEA runs as a FIJI plugin and does not require prior training or human intervention. IVEA is 60 times faster than manual analysis and is able to detect rare events often missed by the human eye. Overall, IVEA represents a breakthrough in the analysis of cellular secretory mechanisms and has a transformative potential for the exocytosis imaging field.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
