Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding the establishment of the Leibniz Centre for Photonics in Infection Research (LPI) at the Jena University Hospital. The center...
Low-Power Optical Tweezers Protect Bioparticles from Damage
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...
Lasers Improve Phototherapy-Drug Delivery Platform
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...
Flexible Optogenetic Tool Blocks Pain, Not Movement
Engineers at MIT have developed soft and implantable fibers that can deliver light to major nerves through the body. When these nerves are genetically manipulated to respond to light, the fibers can...
Beamforming Reduces Photoacoustic Image Bias
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...
Deep Learning Delivers Optoacoustic Images in Real Time
High-quality medical imaging from multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) could be used to diagnose and evaluate a range of diseases, including breast cancer, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, IBD,...
Microscopy Method Detects Treatment-Resistant Cancer
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...
Wearable Sensor Could Detect Postpartum Blood Loss
Postpartum hemorrhage, the leading and most preventable cause of maternal mortality, can be hard to detect, because physiological compensation mechanisms can mask excessive bleeding. In the early...

Online or In-Person: How Do We Connect and Engage?
Most of what we know about how the human brain functions is based on studies of brain activity in single individuals under very controlled parameters. Conventional neuroimaging is performed in a scanner environment using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in which participants are constrained in an MRI bore that includes loud high-pitched noises, a head-mounted contraption conducive to...

Shining a light on sleep disturbance
A good night’s sleep can depend on many factors. Physical stressors, such as loud noises or extreme light, might interrupt sleep patterns temporarily, but underlying medical conditions, specifically stress-related diseases, can have long-term health implications. While it sounds counterintuitive, clinical evidence suggests that to alter sleep patterns for the better, it is a good idea to turn the...
