  Evaluation Summary:

  Tissue microarrays (TMA) have become a mainstay in clinical and basic research, for both discovery and validation of biomarkers. This manuscript provides relevant methodologic considerations for cancer researchers investigating tissue-biomarkers using TMAs. A comprehensive investigation was conducted using a combination of analytic approaches using empirical data and simulated data to support key findings and conclusions. The authors approach the possible sampling variation in a thoughtful way, not only quantifying the issue systematically, but working towards a solution.

  Evaluation Summary:

  This manuscript aims to characterize cardiac tissues from patients who developed Covid-19. The authors studied pathological and normal tissues using microtomography scans performed at different resolution scales. Starting on the reconstructed volumes, special automatic analytical procedures were developed to extract some quantitative structural parameters about the samples themselves. This characterization method was used previously in the study of murine heart models. The main outcome of the research is that there are some well defined characteristics found in tissues of COVID patients that are not revealed in other pathological and normal samples.
