BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Measuring the thickness of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and assessing the percentage of podocyte foot process effacement (%PFPE) are important for diagnosing non-neoplastic kidney diseases. However, when performed ...
For decades, electron microscopy has been the primary method to visualize ultrastructural details of the kidney, including podocyte foot processes and the slit diaphragm. Despite its status as the gold standard, electron microscopy has significant li...
Morphological alterations at the kidney filtration barrier increase intrinsic capillary wall permeability resulting in albuminuria. However, automated, quantitative assessment of these morphological changes has not been possible with electron or ligh...

BACKGROUND: Actin stress fibers are abundant in cultured cells, but little is known about them . In podocytes, much evidence suggests that mechanobiologic mechanisms underlie podocyte shape and adhesion in health and in injury, with structural change...
Morphologic examination of tissue biopsies is essential for histopathological diagnosis. However, accurate and scalable cellular quantification in human samples remains challenging. Here, we present a deep learning-based approach for antigen-specific...
Identification of glomerular lesions and structures is a key point for pathological diagnosis, treatment instructions, and prognosis evaluation in kidney diseases. These time-consuming tasks require a more accurate and reproducible quantitative analy...
Hepatitis B Virus-associated membranous nephropathy (HBV-MN) significantly impacts renal health, particularly in areas with high HBV prevalence. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying HBV-MN is crucial for developing effective therapeutic ...
