11/01/2010 -- BIOSPECTROSCOPY/CARDIOLOGY: High-wavenumber Raman reveals composition and location of intracoronary plaques
Catheters based on advanced high-wavenumber Raman spectroscopy can identify and quantify lipids and lipid subcategories within human coronary arteries in-vivo. The technology promises to enable patient risk assessment and, for the first time, treatment of the cause of heart attacks before they occur. -
11/01/2010 -- DERMATOLOGY/PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY: The benefits of topical photodynamic therapy in dermatology
Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been increasingly used in recent years, and its main indication is for superficial non-melanoma skin cancer. This approach can offer several benefits over other therapies in selected subjects and is often preferred by the patient. New developments seek to expand its application, efficacy and acceptance. -
11/01/2010 -- Nanoparticles team with fluorescent dye to target breast cancer
Nanoparticles coupled to a fluorescent dye can be used to target tumor-specific molecules in breast cancer, providing a way to track the particles by NIR spectroscopy, to enhance magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to deliver an anticancer payload only to diseased cells. -
11/02/2010 -- Researchers link quantum dots to cancer drug to increase its uptake
Researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a novel technology using quantum dots that is expected to have major implications for research and treatment of tuberculosis, as well as other inflammatory lung diseases. -
11/08/2010 -- Imaging probe incorporates OCT to target skin cancer
Researchers at King’s Health Partners Academic Health Sciences Centre and Michelson Diagnostics Ltd., the latter of which recently attracted a £1.7 million investment, are collaborating to target skin cancer with a new type of imaging probe.
