Here we propose to use the image texture entropy as an objective measurement that reflects the structural deterioration of the C.elegans muscle tissues during aging.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: The texture entropy and directionality of the muscle microscopy images were measured using 50 animals on Days 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 of adulthood. Results show that the entropy of the C.elegans pharynx tissues increases as the animal ages, but a sharper increase was measured between Days 2 and 4, and between Days 8 and 10. These results are in agreement with gene expression findings, and support the contention that the process of C.elegans aging has several distinct stages. This can indicate that C.elegans aging is driven by developmental pathways, rather than stochastic accumulation of damage.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability: The image data are freely available on the Internet at http:\/\/ome.grc.nia.nih.gov\/iicbu2008\/celegans, and the Haralick and Tamura texture analysis source code can be downloaded at http:\/\/ome.grc.nia.nih.gov\/wnd-charm.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0shamirl@mail.nih.gov<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btp571","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,7]],"date-time":"2009-10-07T03:44:47Z","timestamp":1254887087000},"page":"3060-3063","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["Quantitative measurement of aging using image texture entropy"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Lior","family":"Shamir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Genetics, National Institute on Aging\/NIH, 251 Bayview Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21224, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Catherine A.","family":"Wolkow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Genetics, National Institute on Aging\/NIH, 251 Bayview Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21224, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ilya G.","family":"Goldberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Genetics, National Institute on Aging\/NIH, 251 Bayview Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21224, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023013112155545700_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"291","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2008.05.044","article-title":"An elt-3\/elt-5\/elt-6 GATA transcription circuit guides aging in C.elegans","volume":"134","author":"Budovskaya","year":"2008","journal-title":"Cell"},{"key":"2023013112155545700_B2","first-page":"271","volume-title":"Pattern Classification and Scene Analysis.","author":"Duda","year":"1973"},{"key":"2023013112155545700_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"677","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mad.2008.09.007","article-title":"Mapping the road to resilience: novel math for the study of frailty","volume":"129","author":"Ferrucci","year":"2008","journal-title":"Mech.
