Biophotonics has plenty of room for pioneers
Our world has lost a number of groundbreakers in recent days, and while it will be a different place without them, it already is a better place because of them. Neil Armstrong took the first walk on the moon, and Sally Ride was the first American woman to make the trip into space. In photonics, Elias Snitzer is considered the father of the glass laser, and Isaac Kaplan found a purpose for the CO2...

Bioluminescence imaging lights up hair renewal
Stem cell therapy could be the “wave” of the future for hair regeneration, and bioluminescence imaging could help doctors monitor treatment. The therapy has been shown to produce hair growth where other methods, including various creams and drugs, have proved less than successful. “Hair regeneration using hair stem cells is a promising therapeutic option emerging for...
