Deep Learning Enables Automated Segmentation and Quantification of Ultrastructure from Transmission Electron Microscopy Images

This paper introduces TEAMKidney, a deep learning framework for automated segmentation and quantification of TEM images, showing improved accuracy and efficiency over existing methods.

The Association Between SLIT2 in Human Vitreous Humor and Plasma and Neurocognitive Test Scores

This study finds higher SLIT2 levels in vitreous humor compared to plasma and links lower vitreous SLIT2 to worse cognitive scores in middle-aged individuals.

ZEB2 signaling is essential for ureteral smooth muscle cell differentiation and maintenance

This study shows that ZEB2 is essential for ureteral smooth muscle cell differentiation and maintenance, as its deletion in mice causes hydroureter and hydronephrosis.

Digital pathology assessment of kidney glomerular filtration barrier ultrastructure in an animal model of podocytopathy

This paper develops a deep learning method to automate measurement of glomerular basement membrane and podocyte foot process widths in TEM images of podocytopathy mouse models, showing comparable accuracy to manual methods.
