Metadata matters: access to image data in the real world

TLDR
An open standard format for multidimensional microscopy image data is described and it is called on the community to use open image data standards and to insist that all imaging platforms support these file formats.
Abstract
Data sharing is important in the biological sciences to prevent duplication of effort, to promote scientific integrity, and to facilitate and disseminate scientific discovery. Sharing requires centralized repositories, and submission to and utility of these resources require common data formats. This is particularly challenging for multidimensional microscopy image data, which are acquired from a variety of platforms with a myriad of proprietary file formats (PFFs). In this paper, we describe an open standard format that we have developed for microscopy image data. We call on the community to use open image data standards and to insist that all imaging platforms support these file formats. This will build the foundation for an open image data repository.

Periductal stromal collagen topology of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma differs from that of normal and chronic pancreatitis.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that second harmonic generation imaging can provide quantitative information about fibrosis that complements traditional histopathologic insights and can serve as a rich field for investigation into pathogenic and clinical implications of reorganized collagen as a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma disease marker.

Cholestasis-induced adaptive remodeling of interlobular bile ducts.

TL;DR: BDL causes adaptive remodeling that aims at optimizing the intraluminal surface area by way of corrugation and branching that is analogous to the function of villi in the intestine or sulci in the brain.

Emergent functional properties of neuronal networks with controlled topology.

TL;DR: This work validated the use of a new bio-printing approach, which effectively maintains the topology of hippocampal cultures in vitro and investigated the emerging functional properties of these grid-confined networks, and showed that reliable functional studies can nowadays be performed on large neuronal networks in the presence of sustained changes in the physical network connectivity.

BigStitcher: Reconstructing high-resolution image datasets of cleared and expanded samples

TL;DR: The BigStitcher software is developed that efficiently handles and reconstructs large multi-tile, multi-view acquisitions compensating all major optical effects, thereby making single-cell resolved whole-organ datasets amenable to biological studies.

BEMOVI, software for extracting behavior and morphology from videos, illustrated with analyses of microbes.

TL;DR: This work introduces BEMOVI, a package using the R and ImageJ software, to extract abundance, morphology, and movement data for tens to thousands of individuals in a video and demonstrates how the trait data can be used with machine learning to automatically classify individuals into species and that information on movement behavior improves the predictive ability.
