Fluorescent compounds based on synthetic small molecules are powerful tools to visualize
biological events in living cells and organisms. Ever since the discovery of organic …

This article presents an overview of time-resolved (lifetime) fluorescence techniques used in
biomedical diagnostics. In particular, we review the development of time-resolved …

Raman spectroscopy is a vibrational spectroscopic technique that can be used to optically
probe the molecular changes associated with diseased tissues. The objective of our study …

In this paper we report the development of two attachments to a commercial cell phone that
transform the phone's integrated lens and image sensor into a 350× microscope and visible …

The capabilities of using gold nanoparticle based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
(SERS) to obtain blood serum biochemical information for non-invasive colorectal cancer …

Raman microspectroscopy was applied to analyze the changes in structural conformation
and chemical composition of the mass of human skin pilomatrixoma (PMX). The normal skin …

During the development of neoplasia, epithelial tissues undergo biochemical and structural
changes that can manifest in tissue fluorescence. There have been several reports on …

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer and is globally rising. Historically, the
diagnosis of skin cancers has depended on various conventional techniques which are of …

Accurate and rapid detection of tumors is of great importance for interrogating the molecular
basis of cancer pathogenesis, preventing the onset of complications, and implementing a …

BACKGROUND Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most prevalent cancer in the light-
skinned population. Noninvasive treatment is increasingly used for NMSC patients with …
