A quantitative image analysis for the cellular cytoskeleton during in vitro tumor growth
作者：
Highlights：
• A quantitative image analysis method to quantify cellular cytoskeleton changes.
• The method segments cell parts using maker-controlled watershed segmentation.
• Morphological operation, distance transform and post-processing play important roles.
• Two texture analysis methods quantify several cytoskeletal features in tumor.
• It can be used to test different biological hypothesis using cellular image sample.
