Deep Learning Model Helps Target Prostate Cancer Treatments to Individual
SEATTLE, April 2, 2024 — Approximately 250,000 men in the U.S. receive a prostate cancer diagnosis each year. While overall morbidity and mortality rates for this type of cancer are low, a subset of cases requires aggressive treatment. A machine-learning model developed by researchers at the University of Washington provides 3D segmentation of the glandular tissue structures that are used for prostate cancer risk assessment. The deep learning-based model for gland segmentation could help guide critical treatment

Raman Approach Safely Tracks Live-Cell RNA Expression
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 22, 2024 — Single-cell RNA sequencing enables scientists to interrogate cells at extraordinary resolution and scale. However, the sequencing process destroys the cell, making it difficult to use the technique to study ongoing changes in gene expression. Raman...
Laser Technology Produces Beam Suitable for Radiation Therapy
QUEBEC CITY, Canada, Jan. 1, 2024 — In experiments at the Advanced Laser Light Source Laboratory at the Institut national de recherche scientifique (INRS), researchers demonstrated that ultrafast laser technology can potentially be used in radiation treatment of cancer. The INRS team...
Low-Power Optical Tweezers Protect Bioparticles from Damage
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 10, 2023 — Optical tweezers trap and manipulate minute particles with light. The technology is used across fields, ranging from manufacturing to biotech, though it requires the use of high-powered lasers to ensure proper function. These lasers can damage the...
Lasers Improve Phototherapy-Drug Delivery Platform
BALTIMORE, Nov. 7, 2023 — Photoimmunotherapy targets cancer cells with microscopic, nano-engineered cancer drugs that are light-activated at the lesion site. Although the technology is increasingly used to treat metastatic cancer, tools to improve the effectiveness of...
Virtual Superlens Passes Diffraction Limit Without Distortion
SYDNEY, Nov. 6, 2023 — The diffraction limit enforces physical restrictions on how closely an object can be examined using traditional optical methods. Previous attempts to develop superlenses that image beyond the diffraction limit have met with extreme visual losses, to...
Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Could Improve Cancer Surgery Outcomes
BOSTON, Oct. 24, 2023 — Extreme precision is required to surgically remove a cancerous tumor without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. Yet surgeons often must rely on their eyes and hands to determine where to cut. Fluorescence lifetime (FLT) imaging, developed at...
Beamforming Reduces Photoacoustic Image Bias
BALTIMORE, Oct. 17, 2023 — Photoacoustic (PA) imaging offers a noninvasive means to obtain molecular and functional information about a variety of medical conditions. However, the quality of PA images, which are acquired when light illuminates the skin, is affected by the...
Microscopy Method Detects Treatment-Resistant Cancer
BALTIMORE, Oct. 9, 2023 — Therapy-induced senescent (TIS) cells are cancer cells that become resistant to therapies and enter a dormant stage. These cells can emerge from dormancy and induce tumor resistance and relapse. To provide insight into how TIS cells evolve, it is...
Light-Activated Metal Particles Deliver Targeted Cancer Treatment
NOMI, Japan, Aug. 15, 2023 — A research group from Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) developed light-activatable, liquid metal (LM) nanoparticles for cancer diagnosis and treatment via photoimmunotherapy. The LM nanoparticles can target and destroy...
Optical Measurements Combine for Early Metastasis Detection
BOSTON, Aug. 10, 2023 — Diffuse in vivo flow cytometry (DiFC), an optical technique developed at Northeastern University, enables fluorescence detection of tumor cells circulating in the bloodstream. It is a promising technique for detecting cancer that has metastasized....
