3-D bioprinted, vascularized proximal tubules mimic the human kidney's reabsorption functions

Every day our kidneys tackle the daunting task of continuously cleaning our blood to prevent waste, salt and excess fluid from building up inside our bodies. To achieve this, the kidneys' approximately one million filtration units (glomeruli) first remove both waste products and precious nutrients from the blood stream, then specialized structures known as the proximal tubules reabsorb the "good" molecules returning them to our bloodstream. While the reabsorptive functions of the proximal tubule can be compromised by drugs, chemicals, or genetic and blood-borne diseases, our understanding of how these effects occur is still limited.

Artificial intelligence digitally stains tissue samples used in pathology, saving labor, time and cost

Histopathology is one of the main methods used for diagnosis of disease. Following a medical screening process, a patient can undergo a biopsy, in which a piece of tissue is removed for further inspection and diagnostic analysis. This tissue specimen is then sliced into thin sections that are on the order of a few millionths of a meter in thickness. These thin sections of tissue contain at the microscopic scale the diagnostic information regarding the patient's condition. However, they exhibit almost no contrast under standard light microscopy. To reveal these microscopic features embedded inside tissue and bring visible contrast for inspection by a pathologist, various tissue staining methods have been created in pathology dating back to more than 150 years ago. These tissue staining procedures use different types of colored dyes that specifically label micro-scale structures in tissue, forming colorful images of specimens, which have been widely used as a gold standard diagnostic method in modern medicine.
