Grading of Melanoma Tissues by Raman MicroSpectroscopy

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings, 2023
Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer. Early-stage diagnosis is therefore a landmark for the success of the therapies and to improve the prognosis.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Advanced techniques in Raman tweezers microspectroscopy for applications in biomedicine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This thesis investigates the use of Raman tweezers microspectroscopy to interrogate the biochemistry of single biological cells. Raman tweezers microspectroscopy is a powerful technique, which combines traditional Raman microspectroscopy and optical ...

Sacrificial‐Layer‐Assisted Heat‐Affected‐Zone Suppression in Laser Patterning of PET for High‐Performance Flexible Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A removable sacrificial polymer layer engineers the thermal boundary condition during nanosecond laser ablation of PET, suppressing heat‐affected‐zone formation without relying on costly ultrafast lasers. This strategy enables deep, high‐aspect‐ratio trenches with no detectable heat‐affected zone, templating silver‐filled mesh electrodes with record ...

Analysis of Milk Microstructure Using Raman Hyperspectral Imaging

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
Optical spectroscopic analysis of the chemical composition of milk in its natural state is complicated by a complex colloidal structure, represented by differently sized fat and protein particles. The classical techniques of molecular spectroscopy in the

Beyond Thin Film Limits—Superhard and Hydrogen‐Free Amorphous Carbon Coatings With Over 100 µm Thickness

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
For the first time, an extreme‐thick laser‐arc PVD ta‐C (DLC) coating exceeding 100 µm is demonstrated, opening up new possibilities for ultra‐high load bearing capacity. This superhard amorphous carbon architecture combines >50% sp3 bonding, robust adhesion and self‐supporting performance, shielding substrates from plastic flow under extreme contact ...

In vivo micro-Raman spectroscopy from an arbitrary-shaped region of interest under simultaneous reflectance confocal imaging guidance

open access: yesAPL Photonics
Confocal Raman spectroscopy (CRS) has been widely used for noninvasive biochemical analysis of biological tissue in vivo. Currently, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) has been integrated with CRS as visual guidance for a square-/rectangular-shaped ...

Utilizing the Metastability of Spidroins as a Strategy for Improving Mechanical Properties of Biomimetic Spider Silk Fibers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phase transitions are central for the assembly of recombinant silk proteins into fibers. Soluble protein can transition into condensed states such as condensates and gels. These states are metastable and evolve in a time‐dependent way. Metastability depends on the protein sequence, and this relationship can be used to enhance the mechanical properties ...

Confocal Raman microspectroscopy for spatially resolved tissue characterisation of disease‐linked spectra‐pathological signatures

open access: yesClinical and Translational Medicine
Raman spectroscopy is a versatile analytical technique for highly specific molecular characterisation of cells, biofluids and tissues. Confocal Raman microspectroscopy combines optical microscopy with Raman spectroscopy to spatially resolve biochemical ...

Dynamic Observation of Lacy Pattern Formation in a Bone Tissue Model Using Liquid Phase Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, we establish a low‐dose liquid‐phase electron microscopy workflow for real‐time observation of biological processes in hydrated conditions. Beam damage is reduced by imaging only 20% of the pixels and reconstructing the complete image using an inpainting algorithm.
