Light-Based Tissue Bioprinting Method Cuts Reliance on Animals
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 24, 2022 — A light-based 3D bioprinting technique could soon be used to produce tissue models for testing and basic research. The approach is poised to reduce reliance on animals in laboratory testing. BRIGHTER, a European Union-funded project coordinated by...
Stretchable Semiconductors Detect Ultralow Light
ATLANTA, Dec. 27, 2021 — A stretchable semiconductor material developed by researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) is able to act like a second layer of skin and detect ultralow levels of light. The researchers believe that their soft flexible...
Wearable Sensor Measures Light Emission on Skin to Monitor Tissue Oxygenation
WASHINGTON, D.C., July 8, 2021 — Researchers have combined an oxygen-sensing film and machine learning to create a wearable sensor capable of measuring tissue oxygenation through a person’s skin. Developed by researchers at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at...
Terahertz Radiation Technology Gets Under Skin for Diagnosis
COVENTRY, England, Dec. 1, 2020 — Collaborating scientists from the University of Warwick and the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have demonstrated a method that uses terahertz radiation to improve the diagnosis of skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and skin cancer....
Tohoku, Advantest Develop In Vivo Skin Imaging Technology
TOKYO, Nov. 26, 2018 — An R&D group led by Professor Yoshifumi Saijo of Tohoku University and Noriyuki Masuda of Advantest Europe GmbH has succeeded in developing in vivo skin imaging technology that can simultaneously generate dual-wavelength photoacoustic images and...
Laser ‘Needle’ Could Take the Ouch Out of Shots
SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 14, 2012 — Children (and even adults) who dread facing needles at the doctor’s office can find hope in a new laser-based system that shoots microscopic jets of drugs into the skin. To test the effectiveness of the drug delivery system, a special gel is...
Tuning Viruses Creates Complex Biological Tissues
BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 20, 2011 — A benign virus has been turned into an engineering tool for assembling structures that mimic collagen, considered one of the most important structural proteins in nature. Researchers say this process eventually could be used to manufacture materials...
Oclaro Targets Cosmetic Market
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 25, 2011 — Oclaro Inc., an optical communications and laser solutions company, announced that its 1470-nm laser diodes, which are selling into the eye-safe laser market, are now being targeted at new high-volume skin-treatment consumer markets. The...
Blue Bananas Linked to Cell Death
INNSBRUCK, Austria, & NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2009 – Bright blue luminescent rings found under UV light on the peels of very ripe bananas hold promise for studying how organisms rid themselves of dying cells, according to chemists in the US and Austria.
LEDs, Tea Better Than Botox?
ULM, Germany, Sept. 10, 2009 – A new noninvasive technique for treating facial wrinkles by combining high-intensity LED light and a lotion made of green tea extract could become an alternative to Botox and cosmetic surgery. The new treatment works 10 times faster than a similar...
'Nano-Camo' Clothing Coming
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., April 7, 2009 — Just as certain fish species blend with their environment by changing color, researchers have theorized that they could cause synthetic materials to change color by manipulating motor proteins through the use of nanoscopic, light-emitting dots of...
Tool Aims to Reduce Biopsies
BOZEMAN, Mont., March 30, 2009 -- A handheld microscope that uses laser light to form an image of the skin's cellular structure could someday reduce the number of biopsies needed to diagnose skin cancer. Biopsies -- invasive, often painful procedures to remove skin samples for...
Laser Light Promising for Diagnosing Skin Cancer
DURHAM, N.C., June 6, 2007 -- In an early step toward nonsurgical screening for malignant skin cancers, a laser-based system has been demonstrated that can capture 3-D images of the chemical and structural changes happening beneath the surface of human skin. "The standard...
Candela Acquires Inolase
WAYLAND, Mass., March 8, 2007 -- Aesthetic laser maker Candela Corp. announced yesterday that it will acquire Inolase Ltd. of Netanya, Israel, for $16.5 million in a cash. Inolase manufactures Pneumatic Skin Flattening (PSF), a vacuum-driven technology that helps reduce the...
Light-Activated Compound Calms Nerves
ST. LOUIS, March 6, 2007 -- A compound that halts nerve cell activity in the brain only when exposed to light is showing promise as a potential treatment for epilepsy. "This is daydreaming at this point, but we might one day combine this drug with a small implanted light...
Wrinkled 'Skin' Created on Polymers
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 18, 2007 -- By controlling the direction and intensity of a focused ion beam, researchers have sculpted patterns on flat areas of a silicon-based organic polymer in much the same way that an airbrush moves over fabric. This new method for developing wrinkled...
