Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a fatty liver disease characterized by accumulation of fat in hepatocytes with concurrent inflammation and is associated with morbidity, cirrhosis and liver failure. After extraction of a liver core biopsy, tis...
In preclinical toxicology studies, a "stage-aware" histopathological evaluation of testes is recognized as the most sensitive method to detect effects on spermatogenesis. A stage-aware evaluation requires the pathologist to be able to identify the di...
Diagnostic histopathology is a gold standard for diagnosing hematopoietic malignancies. Pathologic diagnosis requires labor-intensive reading of a large number of tissue slides with high diagnostic accuracy equal or close to 100 percent to guide trea...
BACKGROUND: Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. Monosomy 3 and mutation are strong prognostic factors predicting metastatic risk in UM. Nuclear BAP1 (nBAP1) expression is a close immunohistochemical surro...
Molecular alterations in cancer can cause phenotypic changes in tumor cells and their micro-environment. Routine histopathology tissue slides - which are ubiquitously available - can reflect such morphological changes. Here, we show that deep learnin...
Nuclei segmentation is a vital step for pathological cancer research. It is still an open problem due to some difficulties, such as color inconsistency introduced by non-uniform manual operations, blurry tumor nucleus boundaries and overlapping tumor...

PURPOSE: Although high T-cell density is a well-established favorable prognostic factor in colorectal cancer, the prognostic significance of tumor-associated plasma cells, neutrophils, and eosinophils is less well-defined.
IMPORTANCE: Histopathological diagnoses of tumors from tissue biopsy after hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) dye staining is the criterion standard for oncological care, but H&E staining requires trained operators, dyes and reagents, and precious tissue sa...
Accurate detection and quantification of hepatic fibrosis remain essential for assessing the severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its response to therapy in clinical practice and research studies. Our aim was to develop an integr...
