Abstract Dysfunctional immune responses contribute critically to the progression of Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19), with macrophages as one main cell types involved. It is urgent understand interactions among permissive cells, macrophages, and SARS-CoV-2 virus, thereby offering important insights into effective therapeutic strategies. Here, we establish a lung macrophage co-culture system derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), modeling host-pathogen interaction in infection....

Precise classification of histopathological images is crucial to computer-aided diagnosis in clinical practice. Magnification-based learning networks have attracted considerable attention for their ability improve performance classification. However, the fusion pyramids at different magnifications an under-explored area. In this paper, we proposed a novel deep multi-magnification similarity (DSML) approach that can be useful interpretation framework and easy visualize feature representation...
