Human donor liver viability evaluation with polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography.

Human liver transplantation is constrained by a critical shortage of viable donor livers. In response to this shortage, marginal livers from extended criteria donors are increasingly used to expand the donor pool. Donor liver viability assessment remains limited by invasive, biopsy-based pathological sampling, and there is a need for more comprehensive and noninvasive evaluation techniques to meet...

Decoding fibrosis: Transcriptomic and clinical insights via AI-derived collagen deposition phenotypes in MASLD.

Histological assessment is foundational to multi-omics studies of liver disease, yet conventional fibrosis staging lacks resolution, and quantitative metrics like collagen proportionate area (CPA) fail to capture tissue architecture. While recent AI-driven approaches offer improved precision, they are proprietary and not accessible to academic research. Here, we present a novel, interpretable AI-b...
