  Evaluation Summary:

  This paper is of interest for cell biologists, developmental biologists and tissue engineers. The authors identify a combination of natural extracellular matrix and growth factors that enables to grow cholangiocytes as branched three-dimensional ducts in culture. The work is physiologically relevant and represents an interesting step forward in the study of bile duct formation and disease, although the cultured ducts could be characterized more in depth.

• Curated by eLife

  Evaluation Summary:

  Neto et al set out to use Two-Photon FLIM and machine learning to classify macrophages that are polarised along the M1/M2 axis and then subjected to different metabolic stresses classically used to distinguish metabolic strategies of different cell states. Additional information is sought regarding the photophysics of the measurements and if there are an adequate number of photons to fairly compare the three conditions. The work will be of interest to immunologists, physiologists interested in metabolism and engineers looking to translate the findings.
