The Center for Advanced Biomedical Imaging and Photonics studies the interaction of light with biological tissue on the microscopic and macroscopic scale. Scientists at the Center work at the interface of biophotonics, bioengineering and cancer biology, with a particular emphasis on: · scattering of...

The enormous increase of Raman signal in the vicinity of metal nanoparticles allows surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to be employed for label-free detection of substances at extremely low concentrations. However, the ultimate potential of label-free SERS to identify pharmaceutical...

We gained new insight into the potential for some types of extracellular RNA called microRNA (miRNA) to influence cancer progression ( Cancer Cell 2014 ). The research suggests that cancer cell exosomes, vesicles that are secreted by cells and present in many biological fluids, and the associated...
