Nanotechnology for immuno-oncology - Nature Cancer Kim and colleagues provide an overview of the current state of the art of nanomaterials and their application in immuno-oncology, discussing preclinical development and the clinical landscape.

Our latest article is online @natcancer.nature.com describing the application of #nanotechnology in #immuno-oncology. A great effort led by Adam Grippin, our star Holman resident and soon to be Physician Scientist. @bettykimmdphd.bsky.social @mdanderson.bsky.social @eileenparkes.bsky.social

⛴️ BiaPy just reached version 3.6.1 💫 (latest release)!

github.com/BiaPyX/BiaPy...

➡️ v3.6.1 came right after (the more dense) v3.6.0 to fix some small bugs 🐞

Let me tell you a bit about what's new 👇

In the meantime, we have more than 46 pretrained models from ⛴️ BiaPy available now in the 🦒 Bioimage Model Zoo 🫶 @ai4life.bsky.social

🔗 Have a look at: bioimage.io#/models

As usual, they are accesible from BiaPy's GUI 🖥️, Colab notebooks 📔 and our API 🤓

🚀 Manual mask annotation slowing you down?
💡 SAMJ is a new ImageJ/Fiji plugin using Segment Anything (SAM) for fast, interactive segmentation — no GPU needed, one-click install, real-time results.
🔬 Perfect for large biomedical images.

We released version 1.6 of micro_sam:
- Improvements for automatic tracking.
- A new experimental mode for object classification.
- **New versions of the LM and EM models**
The models fix artifacts in automatic segmentation, see old vs. new prediction and better 3D segmentation results due to it.

InterpolAI is an optical flow tool to restore and replace input images for enhanced 3D imaging.

Here is a mouse lung where 6 out of 7 light-sheet images were missing or photobleached. We used InterpolAI to reconstruct.

InterpolaAI, based on deep learning-based optical flow, restores and interpolates sparse image stacks.

This first example is a stack of histological images of a human pancreatic duct.

6 out of 7 images were missing or defective, all now generated.

Can you go from protein sequence to a generated image of protein localization? New work from the Uhler lab says yes, and it is generalizable to unseen proteins and more than one cell type. I'm excited for work moving us toward virtual cell models.

My office for the day… Quite an honor I must say…

This work is part of the results from my sabbatical stay at Prof. Denis Wirtz’s lab at Johns Hopkins during the 2022–2023 academic year. Very grateful to have been part of this exciting collaboration—congrats to the team on the Nature Methods publication!

InterpolAI accurately generates synthetic images between real image pairs to help restore tissue damage and reduce stitching artifacts across different imaging modalities. Shows that deep learning can understand data to intelligently fill in the gaps.

Very excited about this paper that came online today! InterpolAI can predict missing image data from light microscopy to H&E to MRI for improved volumetric imaging and image analysis.

🧠 AI4Life wouldn’t be the same without the amazing BioImage.IO community partners!
Now showcasing real-world tools from our partners: DeepIcy, @biapyx.bsky.social, SpotMAX and QuPath.

Huge thanks to our collaborators!

🔧 Time for our tech-savvy crowd!
The afternoon kicks off with a workshop for developers and image analysts: creating, uploading, containerising, and deploying models like a pro.

🧩 The dream: FAIR models and data. Only standards can solve the MxN problem, and this session is exactly about that. And we wrap up today’s workshops with a group reflection:
Why are FAIR resources essential for scientific progress?

📸 Good morning from Helsinki! 🇫🇮
We're back for Day 2 of the AI4Life Community Event and we’re kicking things off with a warm welcome from John Eriksson and @antjekeppler.bsky.social @eurobioimaging.bsky.social
