Motivation: Tissue array (TA) staining, combined with whole slide imaging (WSI) methods facilitate discovery of biomarkers for diagnosis, prognostication and disease stratification. A key impediment in TA WSI analysis is handling missing tissue and artefacts when identifying tissue cores before quantitative, standardized downstream analysis. There is a need for an open access, user friendly, integrated analysis of the WSI generated using TAs in clinical and scientific research laboratories.
Results: We have developed QuArray (Quantitative Array Application) for image export and signal analysis of TAs using WSI. The application input is a WSI and a corresponding TA configuration file. QuArray identifies and exports core images and analyses chromogen staining in a simple graphical user interface. Output data is saved to file for further analysis including indexed data.

Supplementary Information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) has garnered increasing attention in recent years. The prevalence of IPFD is relatively high and associated with factors such as obesity, age, and sex. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying IPFD remain unclear, with several potential contributing factors, including oxidative stress, alterations in the gut microbiota, and hormonal imbalances.

Objective: To evaluate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in pituitary tumors and investigate their correlation with circulating plasma proteins and cavernous sinus invasion. In addition, the Ki-67 index was also assessed.
Methods: Seventy-four patients (37 females) with pituitary adenomas were included, with preoperative peripheral blood collected in 29 cases.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a disease related to inflammation. Proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 17 (IL-17) can induce cancer cell proliferation, metastasis and immune escape. Although NSCLC immune escape is partly due to the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 and PD-L1 expression can be upregulated in cancer cells upon stimulation with IL-17, the underlying mechanism of IL-17-triggered PD-L1 gene transcription in NSCLC cells remains elusive.

Intracellular electrophysiology is essential in neuroscience, cardiology, and pharmacology for studying cells' electrical properties. Traditional methods like patch-clamp are precise but low-throughput and invasive. Nanoelectrode Arrays (NEAs) offer a promising alternative by enabling simultaneous intracellular and extracellular action potential (iAP and eAP) recordings with high throughput.
