Diagnostic instrumentation that provides autofluorescence capabilities is helping clinicians diagnose retinal conditions earlier by showing abnormalities that are often invisible to standard fundus ...

Fundus autofluorescence patterns observed using confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy may be linked to disease progression in patients with age-related macular degeneration and may thereby help ...

Healing of chronic wounds requires sterile conditions and avoidance of infections. But methods for detecting the "bioburden," or quantity and types of bacteria present, are imperfect. Semiquantitative ...

Researchers headed by a team at the University of Wisconsin (UW)-Madison, and the Morgridge Institute for Research, have developed a novel label-free imaging technique that exploits autofluorescence ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common and deadly forms of cancer worldwide. A key reason for its high death toll is that it often goes undetected until it reaches an advanced stage.

The intrinsic emission of light by biological structures in cells, known as autofluorescence (AF), has been a problem in flow cytometry data resolution for years. Cells with a high level of AF can ...

More than 6.5 million Americans suffer from chronic wounds that do not heal within a few months. Many of these wounds are infected with bacteria, and if left untreated, they can lead to serious ...

Researchers can use the light naturally thrown off by biological specimens to better study the different states of stem cells in the nervous system, thanks to a tool developed at the University of ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common and deadly forms of cancer worldwide, often going undetected until it reaches an advanced stage. Several optical technologies have been brought to ...
