Abstract: Provided is a method for classification of diseases including receiving image data associated with an image at a first resolution. The image may be processed, for example by removing a background from the image, deconstructing the image into separate layers, and segmenting the image to define a plurality of single-cell images. A single-cell image may be processed, for example, by applying a filter to the single-cell image to decrease a resolution of the single-cell image as compared to the first resolution, to a second resolution. A label may be assigned to the single-cell image. A machine learning model is trained to predict a classification of the single-cell image based on inputting a plurality of single-cell images into the model. The trained machine learning model may be used to predict the outcome of a treatment. Systems and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for preparing an expanded biological specimen suitable for microscopic analysis. Expanding the biological sample can be achieved by anchoring biomolecules to a polymer network and swelling, or expanding, the polymer network, thereby moving the biomolecules apart as further described below. As the biomolecules are anchored to the polymer network isotropic expansion of the polymer network retains the spatial orientation of the biomolecules resulting in an expanded, or enlarged, biological specimen.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for preparing an expanded renal (kidney) tissue sample suitable for microscopic analysis. Expanding the kidney sample can be achieved by binding, e.g., anchoring, key biomolecules to a polymer network and swelling, or expanding, the polymer network, thereby moving the biomolecules apart as further described herein. As the biomolecules are anchored to the polymer network, isotropic expansion of the polymer network retains the spatial orientation of the biomolecules resulting in an expanded, or enlarged, kidney sample.
