In the context of chronic liver diseases, where variability in progression necessitates early and precise diagnosis, this study addresses the limitations of traditional histological analysis and the shortcomings of existing deep learning approaches. A novel patch-level classification model employing multi-scale feature extraction and fusion was developed to enhance the grading accuracy and interpretability of liver biopsies, analyzing 1322 cases across various staining methods. The study also introduces a slide-level aggregation framework, comparing different diagnostic models, to efficiently integrate local histological information.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the top three most lethal malignancies worldwide, posing a significant threat to human health. Recently proposed immunotherapy checkpoint blockade treatments have proven effective for CRC, but their use depends on measuring specific biomarkers in patients. Among these biomarkers, Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB) has emerged as a novel indicator, traditionally requiring Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) for measurement, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly.

Histopathological analysis of whole slide images (WSIs) has seen a surge in the utilization of deep learning methods, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). However, CNNs often fail to capture the intricate spatial dependencies inherent in WSIs. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) present a promising alternative, adept at directly modeling pairwise interactions and effectively discerning the topological tissue and cellular structures within WSIs.

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a significant bacterial pathogen that causes infantile diarrhea, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The lack of a reliable diagnostic method greatly contributes to the increased occurrence and severity of the disease. This study aimed at developing of a cost-effective, rapid, and efficient immunodiagnostic assay for detecting EPEC infection.

The advent of spatial transcriptomics and spatial proteomics have enabled profound insights into tissue organization to provide systems-level understanding of diseases. Both technologies currently remain largely independent, and emerging same slide spatial multi-omics approaches are generally limited in plex, spatial resolution, and analytical approaches. We introduce IN-situ DEtailed Phenotyping To High-resolution transcriptomics (IN-DEPTH), a streamlined and resource-effective approach compatible with various spatial platforms.
