Raman spectroscopy is an optical technique based on inelastic scattering of light by
vibrating molecules and can provide chemical fingerprints of cells, tissues or biofluids. The …

The implementation of mammographic screening programmes in many countries has been
linked to a marked increase in early detection and improved prognosis for breast cancer …

The goal of breast-conserving surgery is to completely remove all of the cancer. Currently,
no intraoperative tools can microscopically analyze the entire lumpectomy specimen, which …

We present, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of mid-infrared
supercontinuum (SC) tissue imaging at wavelengths beyond 5 μm using a fiber-coupled SC …

Regulation of cell functions by the physical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) has
emerged as a crucial contributor to development and disease. Two specific physical …

The recently developed array of Raman spectroscopy techniques for deep subsurface
analysis of biological tissues unlocks new prospects for medical diagnosis and monitoring of …

Biomineralization of skeletal components (eg, bone and teeth) is generally accepted to
occur under strict cellular regulation, leading to mineral–organic composites with …

Several major diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular abnormalities, may be linked to
pathological deposition of minerals or organic compounds in various tissues. 1− 3 Thus, the …

Background: Mammographic microcalcifications represent one of the most reliable features
of nonpalpable breast cancer yet remain largely unexplored and poorly understood …

Raman spectroscopy has recently undergone major advances in the area of deep non‐
invasive characterisation of biological tissues. The progress stems from the development of …
