Topic: ASTRO

Morphologically complex cells, such as astrocytes, shape brain function in ways that we do not yet fully understand. We present here a Blender-based toolkit CellRemorph (Keto & Manninen, 2023; https://github.com/lauraketo/CellRemorph) to address the specific challenges and requirements of building morphologically detailed astrocyte models that capture their complex and functionally relevant nanoscale architecture. The first tool in the CellRemorph toolkit enables precisely selecting nanoprocesses from polygonal surface meshes or surface point clouds, the second transforming polygonal surfa
