Published: June 2015

Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) is a recently introduced method of acquiring high-resolution, wide field of view (FOV) giga-pixel histology images. The FPM procedure first acquires a sequence of low-resolution images of a sample under variable-angle illumination. It then combines these images using a novel phase retrieval algorithm to improve the employed microscope's resolution beyond its conventional limit. Here, we first describe how FPM's resolution improvement can enhance wide FOV histology imaging. Second, we show that FPM also records a thin sample's optical phase, which can help pathologists digitally extract as much information as possible from a given histology slide.

Cellular dynamics of cervical remodelling: insights from preterm and term labour.

Arch Gynecol Obstet

January 2025

Department of Pathology, Instituto Português de Oncologia do Porto, Rua Dr. António Bernardino de Almeida, 4200-072, Porto, Portugal.

Introduction: Preterm birth remains a global health challenge with significant perinatal morbidity and mortality rates. Despite extensive research, the underlying mechanisms triggering preterm birth remain elusive, needing a deeper understanding of cervical cellular remodelling processes.

Purpose: This study aims to elucidate the cellular mechanisms underlying cervical remodelling in spontaneous preterm labour (PTL) compared to term labour (TL), focusing on the roles of inflammatory cells and fibroblasts.

Challenges in standardizing preimplantation kidney biopsy assessments and the potential of AI-Driven solutions.

Curr Opin Nephrol Hypertens

January 2025

Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Transplantation, KU Leuven.

Purpose Of Review: This review explores the variability in preimplantation kidney biopsy processing methods, emphasizing their impact on histological interpretation and allocation decisions driven by biopsy findings. With the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in digital pathology, it is timely to evaluate whether these advancements can overcome current challenges and improve organ allocation amidst a growing organ shortage.

Recent Findings: Significant inconsistencies exist in biopsy methodologies, including core versus wedge sampling, frozen versus paraffin-embedded processing, and variability in pathologist expertise.

Discrepancies in PD-L1 expression, lymphocyte infiltration, and tumor mutational burden in non-small cell lung cancer and matched brain metastases.

Transl Lung Cancer Res

December 2024

Department of Pathology, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital, National Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Tianjin's Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Key Laboratory of Cancer Prevention and Therapy, Tianjin, China.

Background: Differences in the immune microenvironment and responses to immunotherapy may exist between primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and brain metastases (BMs). This study aimed to investigate discrepancies in programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS), and tumor mutational burden (TMB) between matched BMs and primary tumors (PTs) in NSCLC.

Methods: Twenty-six pairs of surgically resected BMs and corresponding PTs from NSCLC patients were collected.

January 2025

University of Michigan Medical School, Department of Pathology, 2800 Plymouth Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2800, USA.

Digital pathology is a tool of rapidly evolving importance within the discipline of pathology. Whole slide imaging promises numerous advantages; however, adoption is limited by challenges in ease of use and speed of high-quality image rendering relative to the simplicity and visual quality of glass slides. Herein, we introduce Iris, a new high-performance digital pathology rendering system.

Background & Aims: Biliary abnormalities in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and interface hepatitis in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) occur frequently, and misinterpretation may lead to therapeutic mistakes with a negative impact on patients. This study investigates the use of a deep learning (DL)-based pipeline for the diagnosis of AIH and PBC to aid differential diagnosis.

Methods: We conducted a multicenter study across six European referral centers, and built a library of digitized liver biopsy slides dating from 1997 to 2023.
