Catheters based on advanced high-wavenumber Raman spectroscopy can identify and quantify lipids and lipid subcategories within human coronary arteries in-vivo. The technology ...
As oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico this summer, the National Science Foundation (NSF) responded with lightning speed to fund proposals for research related to the spill.
Today's most common oral cancer diagnostic method is prone to false positives and negatives. Optical technologies promise non-invasive, non-ionizing solutions, however, and in...
One of the most recent approaches to making a three-dimensional representation from two-dimensional imagery comes from structured illumination microscopy (SIM).
The Spectral Reflectance Imaging Biosensor (SRIB) is a multiplexed immunoassay platform that identifies specific protein biomarkers in blood, urine or saliva, and enables many...
A simple synthesis method, developed by X. Nancy Xu and her research group AT Old Dominion University (ODU), is able to produce silver and gold nanoparticles in an array of shapes...
Ed Davis, DPM, FACFAS, a podiatrist based in the San Antonio, TX, area, has boosted his treatment options in his practice with Multiwave Locked System (MLS) therapy for treating...
Scientists at the University of Bonn (Germany) have succeeded in altering cardiac muscle cells to make them controllable with light, and then causing conditions such as arrhythmia...
Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been increasingly used in recent years, and its main indication is for superficial non-melanoma skin cancer. This approach can offer several...
A new imaging system that uses six different wavelengths to illuminate the eye's interior (ocular fundus) may pave the way for doctors to easily screen patients for common diseases...
Hitching a ride on an HIV protein known for its ability to penetrate human cells, silver nanoparticles have proven able to enter cell nuclei and report on their surroundings using...
