Toward 3D‐Bioprinted Models of the Liver to Boost Drug Development
During preclinical studies, bidimensional in vitro models and animal models are synergically exploited to forecast safety and efficacy. 3D‐bioprinting is exploited to produce complex in vitro models, able to mimic physiological and pathological conditions, thus aiming to overcome the conventional paradigm.

Duration of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment predicts recovery of retinal sensitivity
The decision to treat a disease is often based on the presence or absence of symptoms, one prototype case being rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Detachment of the neural retina from the pigment epithelium is a major cause of anatomical and functional ...

Fully Automated Tree Topology Estimation and Artery-Vein Classification [PDF]
We present a fully automatic, graph-based technique for extracting the retinal vascular topology -- that is, how different vessels are connected to each other -- given a single color fundus image. Determining this connectivity is very challenging because vessels cross each other in a 2D image, obscuring their true paths. We quantitatively validated the

Database of iris images acquired in the presence of ocular pathologies and assessment of iris recognition reliability for disease-affected eyes [PDF]
This paper presents a database of iris images collected from disease affected eyes and an analysis related to the influence of ocular diseases on iris recognition reliability. For that purpose we have collected a database of iris images acquired for 91 different eyes during routine ophthalmology visits.
