Probabilistic programming in Python using PyMC3

Probabilistic programming allows for automatic Bayesian inference on user-defined probabilistic models.Recent advances in Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling allow inference on increasingly complex models.This class of MCMC, known as Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, requires gradient information which is often not readily available.PyMC3 03.2150.400 i

Cryopreservation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes is not detrimental to their molecular and functional properties

Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) have emerged as a powerful platform for in vitro modelling of cardiac diseases, safety pharmacology and drug screening.All these applications require large quantities of well-characterised and standardised batches of hiPSC-CMs.Cryopreservation of hiPSC-CMs without affecting thei
