DGC Helps Illuminate Mechanisms of Alcohol Dependency Imaging transparent, colorless specimens has always presented a challenge in optical microscopy. In many applications, it is not desirable or even possible to use fluorescent dyes, stains or...
Full-Spectrum Technology Deepens the Reach of Flow Cytometry Flow cytometry is gaining traction as a clinical and research tool in areas such as immuno-oncology and systems biology because it enables the ability to profile a large panel of heterogeneous cells...
Photomediated Ultrasound Therapy Offers Precision Targeting of Microvessels Neovascularization and vascularization play a critical role in the pathogenesis of numerous pathological conditions, including cancer, inflammation and retinal vascular diseases. Retinal diseases...
Editorial
The Virtues of Synergy Our cover story this month focuses on a hybrid technique: photomediated ultrasound therapy (PUT). As the name implies, the technique takes advantage of the syngeries of lasers and sound to increase the effectiveness of antivascular therapy. Developed by a research team at the University of Michigan and other institutions, PUT may provide new treatments for cancer and diseases causing blindness...

Photoacoustic Imaging Technique Measures Periodontal Health Using squid ink as a contrast agent for a photoacoustic ultrasound, researchers have developed a dental imaging method for assessing gum health that is non-invasive, comprehensive and accurate. The photoacoustic method can image the entire pocket depth around the teeth at once, without the poking and prodding that typically accompanies the use of a periodontal probe, considered the “gold...
Smartphone App Objectively Assesses Brain Injuries in The Field A smartphone app that detects concussion and other traumatic brain injuries could be used to determine whether someone — whether a football player, a soldier in battle, or an elderly person who...
Optogenetics Used to Control Interorganellar Communication Researchers are using optogenetics to tune communication between organelles within living cells. The optogenetics tools are being used to control the proteins that form the bridge between organelles,...

Laser Imaging ‘Bowl’ Tests For Breast Cancer Lasers, photonics and ultrasounds are not the typical instruments used during a mammogram. But they could aid doctors in diagnosing breast cancer painlessly, almost effortlessly, and while the patient waits. European researchers from seven different countries are working to develop an imaging device made up of a comfortable hemispherical bowl lined with laser sources and ultrasound detectors. It...
