Description: The study developed a geometry-driven synthesis pipeline to create synthetic 3D myotube data, bypassing the need for large annotated datasets. A compact U-Net model, pre-trained on this synthetic data using self-supervised learning and refined with domain adaptation, achieved a mean IPQ of 0.22 on real myotube images, significantly outperforming established zero-shot segmentation models.
