FEATURES
Expanding the Range: Wearables Enable the Next Level of Mobile Health Data Monitoring The next generation of wearable devices will no longer be created only for the fitness-conscious to monitor their daily steps or heart rate on a smartwatch. Increasingly sophisticated photonic...
Photoacoustic Imaging Uses LED Light to Guide Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy Efficient medical imaging techniques such as photoacoustic imaging help to accurately detect diseases as early as possible, resulting in timely intervention and reducing the need for medication and...
Raman Spectroscopic Method Diagnoses Infection at the Point of Care Millions of people worldwide die from infectious diseases each year, and the spread of these diseases poses a real threat to the survival of public health systems. How quickly health care...
Spectral Monitoring Reveals the Health of River and Lake Ecosystems Rivers represent just a small fraction of the water on Earth’s surface, but they serve as vital natural resources for numerous cities and communities worldwide. River systems supply food and...
EDITORIAL
LEDs light a path to diagnosis Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, causing nearly 18 million deaths in 2019 alone, according to the World Health Organization. The vast majority of these deaths occurred in low- and middle-income countries, indicating the need for a point-of-care diagnostic method capable of adapting to resource-limited clinical settings. Because of the ability of photoacoustic...

Photoacoustic System Enables Real-Time Neurovascular Imaging A photoacoustic imaging tool developed by Duke University researchers accommodates the need for both speed and comprehensive detail in neurovascular imaging. The imaging modality enables an approach to visualize whole-brain hemodynamics and oxygenation in real time. Additionally, it tracks fast pathophysiological activities at the micro-vessel level. According to the researchers, the approach...
Laser Endomicroscopy Enables Real-time Detection of Lung Cancer Researchers at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a method to detect lung cancer at the cellular level in real time during biopsy. The method ensures earlier...
CEA Develops Lensless Microbial Identification Technology CEA-Leti and CEA-Irig have developed a lensless imaging technology capable of identifying bacteria with more than 95% accuracy. The device aims to address the problem of antimicrobial resistance,...
Companies Partner on Biomedical Image Data Capture, Process Raw image compression company Dotphoton will partner with Hamamatsu Photonics to make accessible higher-quality image data contained within biomedical images, such as those obtained through...
Safe, Ingestible Fluorescent Silk Tags Authenticate Medications To help block the flow of counterfeit medications, researchers at Purdue University and the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences in South Korea developed edible fluorescent tags that can be...
Laser-irradiated Coating Augments Nonsurgical Treatment of Obesity A multi-institutional research team in South Korea has enhanced the existing functionality of appetite-suppressing implants in the stomach with photodynamic therapy, coating such an implant with...
Protein-induced Apoptosis in Cancer Cells Protects Healthy Tissue A research group at Okayama University is working on a way to prevent healthy cells from incurring damage during cancer treatment. The group is developing a light-induced method for triggering cell...
BIOPINION
Membrane microscopy is helping to ensure that drugs are safe for patients Historically, during drug trials, the biopharmaceutical industry has used technologies that have been ill-suited for biologics characterization, an essential foundation for devising a proper therapeutic strategy. These legacy tools — which measure distribution of a particular drug or treatment — have required a lot of time and samples and can only be deployed in the latest stages of...

Probe detects cooking oil gone bad Most people who eat in restaurants probably don’t think about how often the staff changes the oil in which the food is cooked. But what patrons don’t know can still make them sick. Fortunately, researchers have developed a fluorescent probe that could help keep consumers safe by identifying even small amounts oil gone bad. Lipid oxidation occurs when cooking oils are reused too many...
