Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectro-imaging enables global analysis of samples, with
resolution close to the cellular level. Recent studies have shown that FT-IR imaging enables …

Fourier transform mid-infrared (MIR-FTIR) spectroscopy is a nondestructive, label-free,
highly sensitive and specific technique that provides complete information on the chemical …

Currently available screening tests do not deliver the required sensitivity and specificity for
accurate diagnosis of ovarian or endometrial cancer. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy of blood …

Blood, saliva, semen and vaginal secretions are the main human body fluids encountered at
crime scenes. Currently presumptive tests are routinely utilised to indicate the presence of …

The development of a new fast, portable and reagent-free diagnostic technique for hepatitis
B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) viruses would be an enormous benefit to society. Here, we …

The goal of this study was to determine the impact of silk biomaterial structure (eg solution,
hydrogel, film) on proteolytic susceptibility. In vitro enzymatic degradation of silk fibroin …

The linear relationship between optical absorbance and the concentration of analytes—as
postulated by the Beer-Lambert law—is one of the fundamental assumptions that much of …

Many muscular diseases result from abnormal organization of connective tissue and/or
collagen network formation. Only a few molecular imaging techniques are able to analyze …

BACKGROUND During their biological life, proteins are exposed in a cumulative fashion to
irreversible nonenzymatic, late posttranslational modifications that are responsible for their …

Despite numerous advances in “omics” research, early detection of ovarian cancer still
remains a challenge. The aim of this study was to determine whether attenuated total …
