BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: As an advanced technique, immunofluorescence (IF) is one of the most widely-used medical image for nephropathy diagnosis, due to its ease of acquisition with low cost. In practice, the clinically collected IF images are comm...
Liver cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed and fatal cancers worldwide, with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) being the most common primary liver cancer. Hundreds of studies involving thousands of patients have now been analysed across differ...
Immunotherapy targeting immune checkpoint proteins, such as programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), has shown impressive outcomes in many clinical trials but only 20%-40% of patients benefit from it. Utilizing Combined Positive Score (CPS) to evaluat...
Cellular profiling with multiplexed immunofluorescence (MxIF) images can contribute to a more accurate patient stratification for immunotherapy. Accurate cell segmentation of the MxIF images is an essential step. We propose a deep learning pipeline t...
Separating and labeling each nuclear instance (instance-aware segmentation) is the key challenge in nuclear image segmentation. Deep Convolutional Neural Networks have been demonstrated to solve nuclear image segmentation tasks across different imagi...
INTRODUCTION: Multiplex biomarker analysis of cytological body fluid specimens is often used to assist cytologists in distiguishing metastatic cancer cells from reactive mesothelial cells. However, evaluating biomarker expression visually may be chal...
The differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) into neurons is proposed to be critical in devising potential cell-based therapeutic strategies for central nervous system (CNS) diseases, however, the determination and prediction of differentiation is...
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that have great potential for regenerative medicine, tissue repair, and immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the outcomes of MSC-based research and therapies can be highly inconsistent and difficult to ...
Evaluation of reactive astrogliosis by neuroanatomical assays represents a common experimental outcome for neuroanatomists. The literature demonstrates several conflicting results as to the accuracy of such measures. We posited that the diverging res...
