3D rendering of blood cells — Blender add-on measuring the distance of megakaryocytes to vessels in human bone marrow.

Microscopy image overlaid with segmentation. — Machine learning based segmentation and quantification study on kidney glomeruli, using Mask R-CNN.

About: A machine learning based segmentation and quantification study to estimate the size of Bowman’s space. Bowman’s space is the difference between outer perimeter and Tuft in a glomeruli. Such approximations can reveal tendencies toward having or developing cancer.
