Quantitative assessment of collagen architecture from routine histopathological images shows concordance with Second Harmonic Generation microscopy

This study demonstrates that computational analysis of routine Masson-Goldner Trichrome-stained histopathological images can accurately quantify collagen architecture in breast tumors with significant concordance to specialized Second Harmonic Generation microscopy, offering a scalable and clinically accessible alternative for assessing extracellular matrix organization.

Pathologies and causes of death in stranded cetaceans in the Canary Islands (2013-2018)

This study analyzes the pathological findings and causes of death in 316 stranded cetaceans in the Canary Islands from 2013 to 2018, revealing that natural causes (73.6%) predominated over anthropogenic factors (12.9%) while documenting novel disease patterns and reaffirming established mortality trends to support conservation strategies.

Proteomic profiling of whole tissue sections in cardiac ATTR amyloidosis reveals increased extracellular matrix remodeling

Quantitative proteomic analysis of whole cardiac tissue sections in ATTR amyloidosis reveals that, beyond amyloid deposition, the disease is characterized by significant upregulation of extracellular matrix remodeling proteins, complement factors, and coagulation factors, highlighting active tissue restructuring as a key pathological feature with potential therapeutic implications.

Splenic tropism of Plasmodium vivax in acute infection and spleen-attenuated systemic inflammation

This study demonstrates that even in acute *Plasmodium vivax* malaria, the spleen harbors approximately 89% of the total parasite biomass and acts as a critical regulator of systemic inflammation and disease intensity, whereas its absence leads to higher circulating parasitemia but paradoxically lower total parasite load and altered inflammatory responses.

Isoform-Specific Functions of p73 Drive Survival and Chemoresistance in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

This study reveals that an imbalance between the pro-apoptotic TAp73 and anti-apoptotic ΔNp73 isoforms, often driven by 1p36 chromosomal disruption, critically influences survival and chemoresistance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, positioning ΔNp73 as a key biomarker for aggressive disease and a potential therapeutic target.

Artificial Intelligence Devices for Image Analysis in Digital Pathology

This paper analyzes the rapidly expanding market of commercial AI devices for digital pathology image analysis, revealing that while numerous products exist—particularly for cancer detection in breast and prostate tissues—there is a significant lack of published clinical validation studies, diverse dataset quality, and evidence regarding clinical utility and cost-effectiveness, underscoring the urgent need for greater transparency and rigorous independent scrutiny.

Selection of a Lead Long-Acting Formulation of Ivermectin to Target Major Malaria Vectors in Western Africa: Evaluation of Pharmacokinetics and Mosquitocidal Efficacy in Cattle under Laboratory Conditions.

This study identifies mdc-STM-001, a long-acting injectable ivermectin formulation, as the lead candidate for malaria control in Western Africa because it demonstrates a favorable pharmacokinetic profile and sustained efficacy in killing pyrethroid-resistant *Anopheles* mosquitoes for at least two months following a single cattle injection.

Cross-Species Morphology Learning Enables Nucleic Acid-Independent Detection of Live Mutant Blood Cells

This paper presents a cost-effective, nucleic acid-independent computer vision platform that utilizes cross-species machine learning to detect live blood cells carrying malignancy-associated mutations (KMT2A-MLLT3 or JAK2-V617F) through high-throughput single-cell morphology analysis, offering a promising tool for pre-malignant screening.
