Liver Explore
Enhancing the discovery of novel biomarkers in MASH and other liver diseases with quantitative, cellular-level characterization of tissue and fibrosis microarchitecture in liver biopsies.
Liver Explore1 is an AI-powered panel of >1,000 quantitative human interpretable features (HIFs) that spatially characterize liver tissue biopsy microarchitecture from H&E whole slide images.
Tissue and cell classification
Automated detection and AI heatmaps visualizing >20 tissue regions and >10 cell types
H&E fibrosis detection & subtyping
AI-powered identification of collagen/fibrosis tissue - directly on H&E image without additional slide scanning
HIF Panel
>1,000 curated HIFs for rapid, scalable, and standardized quantification of the entire tissue
Human Interpretable Features (HIFs) are metrics that capture areas, counts, densities, and proximities of cell types within each tissue region to enable spatial analyses
