Zero-Shot Cell Tracking Using Segment Anything 2 AI Model

A zero‑shot framework using Segment Anything 2 tracks cells in 2‑D and large‑scale 3‑D time‑lapse microscopy without any dataset‑specific training; the preprint was submitted on 12 Sep 2025. getnews.me/zero-shot-cell-tracking-... #segmentanything2 #celltracking

📌 Tracking cell dynamics just got smarter!
We use Bayesian linking algorithms — KOFT and SKT — implemented in our ByoTrack 🐍 Python library.
Kalman filters + optical flow for links & mitosis detection.

🎉 Congratulations to Mina Gachloo for her first presentation at the CVMI Workshop @ #CVPR 👏
In this work, we dive into the challenges of low-frame-rate cell tracking, where deep learning meets sparse temporal data. 🧵

Cancer Cells Under Pressure: What Inheritance Reveals About Therapy Resistance UZH researchers have developed a method to live-track cancer cells across generations, uncovering how stress-induced DNA damage leads to heterogeneity and resistance.

What if cancer cells passed stress down like a family secret? Scientists reveal how DNA damage changes generations of tumor cells — and why that matters. #CancerResearch #CellTracking #TherapyResistance

🚨Paper alert!
🚀 We presented SINETRA at #ISBI2025 in Houston
A new simulator for generating realistic 2D/3D neuron tracking data in moving animals like Hydra vulgaris
🧠 Helps test and improve tracking algorithms under tough conditions
