Editorial
Imaging Combo Enhances Disease ID, Treatment
Early detection and diagnosis of cancer and other such ailments, including cardiovascular diseases, can make all the difference in treating them quickly and successfully. In some cases, it could actually mean life or death for a patient. Seeing into the body and visualizing samples can aid disease discovery and make subsequent treatment more effective. Clinicians have historically had to rely on...

Blue Light Excites Retinal, Intercepts Cellular Signaling in the Eye
An optical chemistry research study has shown how blue light from digital devices and the sun can cause the death of retinal molecules, increasing potential for age-related macular degeneration. Photoreceptor chromophore 11-cis retinal (11CR) and the photoproduct all-trans retinal (ATR) are present in the retina and interact with the visual cells. Using live-cell imaging and optogenetic signaling...
IR Sensor Could Measure Drug Efficacy, Aid Drug Discovery
Using an IR sensor, researchers have analyzed which active agents affect protein structure and how long the effect lasts. The method they used could one day be applied to the quick and targeted...
