Multiphoton microscopic imaging of collagen plays an important role in noninvasive diagnoses of human tissue. In this study, two-photon fluorescence and second-harmonic generation (SHG) imaging of collagen in human skin dermis and submucosa of colon and stomach tissues were investigated based on multiphoton microscopy (MPM). Our results show that multiphoton microscopic image of collagen bundles exhibits apparently different pattern in human tissues. The collagen bundles can simultaneously reveal its SHG and two-photon excited fluorescence images in the submucosa of colon and stomach, whereas it solely emit SHG signal in skin dermis. The intensity spectral information from tissues further demonstrated the above results. This indicates that collagen bundles have completely different space arrangement in these tissues. Our experimental results bring more detailed information of collagen for the application of MPM in human noninvasive imaging.

Introduction: Facial aging is a multifactorial process characterized by skin laxity, volume loss, and collagen degradation. Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) is a versatile biostimulatory filler that can provide both structural support and collagen stimulation. This study evaluates a novel technique using CaHA with tailored dilutions for minimally invasive facial rejuvenation, focusing on key ligamentous structures.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation. This study aimed to use the sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) targeted tracer [F]TZ4877 with PET/CT to assess synovial inflammation in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model. [F]TZ4877 and [F]FDG PET/CT imaging were performed on RA ( = 6) and control ( = 6) mice.

Functional reconstruction of large mandibular defects, especially in young patients, presents a significant clinical challenge. The ideal approach should not only restore skeletal contour but also address nerve deficits and facilitate final occlusal rehabilitation, all while minimizing morbidity. This report describes a comprehensive, multi-staged strategy for such a case.

The development of controllable nanoplatforms with disease-specific responsiveness and programmable therapeutic functions is vital for treating complex cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Herein, we present an intelligent, next-generation nanoplatform (HALA@AgS) that integrates enzyme-responsive dual-drug delivery with NIR-II imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT), enabling triple-stimuli synergy of enzyme, light, and multi-drug co-activation. This modular design enables stable nanoassemblies with high drug-loading capacity and selective disassembly in enzyme-rich plaque microenvironments, achieving controlled dual-drug release exceeding 80 % within 72 h.

Chemical imaging holds great promise for chemical, materials, and biological applications. However, its contrast often relies on subtle spectral differences arising from molecular-level changes. Here, we introduce label-free chemical imaging based on bond-specific coherent interference, which is highly sensitive to nanoscopic structural variations in collagen fibers.
