Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

Researchers developed a non-invasive imaging technique that enables laser light to penetrate deeper into living tissue, capturing sharper images of cells. This could help clinical biologists study ...

Anil Oza is a general assignment reporter at STAT focused on the NIH and health equity. You can reach him on Signal at aniloza.16. When a dye called tartrazine is added to food, it creates a bright ...

Cancer imaging is entering a phase where malignant cells no longer hide in murky grayscale but flare into view with surgical ...

A new imaging technology can distinguish cancerous tissue from healthy cells by detecting ultra-weak light signals. It relies ...

Optical clearing, whereby biological tissues are rendered transparent to visible light, is a valuable route to imaging of cells and organs in their complete environment. Multiple variations of ...

Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is an advanced in vivo tissue imaging technique that combines optical and acoustic approaches to overcome the optical diffusion limit. It can produce images with great ...

Nanoscale pollutants enter bodies and ecosystems unseen. New bioimaging methods can trace where they go, revealing how they ...

Intravital brain imaging is a valuable tool for studying neurons, glial cells, and their surroundings in living animals. It allows the investigation of neurological illnesses, therapeutic efficacy, ...
