Chronic kidney disease is a leading public health problem related to poor quality of life and
premature death. As a resource for evidence-informed health policy-making, we evaluated …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is usually diagnosed using the estimated glomerular filtration
rate (eGFR) or kidney damage markers. The urine dipstick test is a widely used screening …

Cryoprotectants such as antifreeze proteins (AFPs) and sugar molecules may provide a
solution for icing problems. These anti-icing substances protect cells and tissues from …

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a common condition characterized by serous
detachment of the neurosensory retina at the posterior pole. We built a deep learning system …
