High-throughput platform for label-free sorting of 3D spheroids using deep learning.

End-stage liver diseases have an increasing impact worldwide, exacerbated by the shortage of transplantable organs. Recognized as one of the promising solutions, tissue engineering aims at recreating functional tissues and organs . The integration of bioprinting technologies with biological 3D models, such as multi-cellular spheroids, has enabled the fabrication of tissue constructs that better mimic complex structures and functionality of organs.

An Integrated Photonic Biosensing Platform for Pathogen Detection in Aquaculture.

Aquaculture is expected to play a vital role in solving the challenge of sustainably providing the growing world population with healthy and nutritious food. Pathogen outbreaks are a major risk for the sector, so early detection and a timely response are crucial. This can be enabled by monitoring the pathogen levels in aquaculture facilities.

Investigating the prognostic impact of NY-ESO-1 expression and HLA subtypes in metastatic synovial sarcoma.

Background: To better understand the importance of the New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 1 (NY-ESO-1) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) subtypes in treatment decision-making, further investigation of their prevalence and prognostic impact among patients with metastatic synovial sarcoma (mSS) is needed.

Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective clinico-biological cohort study of adults with mSS. Patient data were collected from the French Sarcoma Group NetSARC database and supplemented by electronic medical records.

Intratumoral Heterogeneity Assessment of the Extracellular Bone Matrix and Immune Microenvironment in Osteosarcoma Using Digital Imaging to Predict Therapeutic Response.

The assessment of chemotherapy response in osteosarcoma (OS) based on the average percentage of viable cells is limited, as it overlooks the spatial heterogeneity of tumor cell response (foci of resistant cells), immune microenvironment, and bone microarchitecture. Despite the resulting positive classification for response to chemotherapy, some patients experience early metastatic recurrence, demonstrating that our conventional tools for evaluating treatment response are insufficient. We studied the interactions between tumor cells, immune cells (lymphocytes, histiocytes, and osteoclasts), and bone extracellular matrix (ECM) in 18 surgical resection samples of OS using multiplex and conventional immunohistochemistry (IHC: CD8, CD163, CD68, and SATB2), combined with multiscale characterization approaches in territories of good and poor response (GRT/PRT) to treatment.
