Raman‐based label‐free microscopic analysis of the pancreas in living zebrafish larvae
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Forward stimulated Raman scattering (F‐SRS) and epi coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (E‐CARS) allow label‐free discrimination of distinct subcellular structures in the pancreas of living zebrafish larvae. Given the straightforward applicability, we anticipate broad implementation of Raman microscopy in other organs and across various biomedical ...

Moyamoya Disease and the Risk of Parkinson's Disease
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder characterized by the progressive narrowing of arteries at the base of the brain, forming abnormal collateral vascular networks. While vascular parkinsonism is noted in MMD, its link to Parkinson's disease (PD) has not been explored.
