Article Abstract
We present the first demonstration, to our knowledge, of a label-free flow cytometer for the analysis of biological specimens using multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (MCARS) and elastic scatter measurements. The MCARS system probes the Raman vibrational energy levels and the elastic scatter provides morphological information. We demonstrate these capabilities by probing a culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 100 spectra/s and constructing a background-free Raman reconstruction using a Kramers-Kronig relation. A theoretical analysis shows that this system could operate at speeds of 10 kHz with appropriate hardware; thus facilitating integration into commercial flow cytometers or use as a high-speed, stand-alone device.

Reperfusion therapy, the restoration of blood flow following a myocardial infarction (MI), is one of the most effective treatment strategies. Unlike early reperfusion therapy, differences in infarct size or collagen content have not been reported in late reperfusion therapy. To evaluate the spatial-temporal effects of late reperfusion therapy, we conducted multimodal imaging of histologic sections of rat myocardium following permanent coronary artery occlusion or three hours of occlusion.

In situ forming implants (ISFIs) present a promising approach for sustained parenteral drug delivery, offering reduced first pass metabolism, fewer systemic side effects, and improved patient compliance. This study investigates defocused spatially-offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) as a real-time, non-invasive, and label-free method for monitoring implant formation and drug release from ISFIs loaded with the model drugs 4-cyanophenol (4-CP) or all-trans retinoic acid (RA). A custom-designed flow-through diffusion cell, incorporating full-thickness porcine skin, was developed to enable ex vivo release studies, allowing simultaneous defocused SORS measurements of subcutaneously-implanted formulations and HPLC quantification of drug released into the receptor medium.

Objective: This study investigates the effects of hyperglycemia on vascular morphology and hemodynamics during embryogenesis using the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model.
Methods: We employed a dual-modality, label-free imaging approach, Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) and biospeckle imaging, to evaluate microvascular architecture and real-time flow dynamics in chick embryos subjected to hyperglycemic conditions. Quantitative metrics such as vessel area, branching junctions, lacunarity, and biospeckle contrast were analyzed to assess angiogenic and metabolic responses.
In-Solution Characterization of Biomolecular Interaction Kinetics under Native Conditions.

Characterizing the kinetics of biomolecular interactions is fundamental for understanding biological mechanisms, developing novel drugs for advancing healthcare and for optimizing processes in protein engineering. Although modern surface-based methods have advanced our understanding of protein-protein and protein-ligand kinetics, they rely on immobilized samples, preventing the study of interactions under native conditions and leading to an incomplete understanding. In this work, we propose a paradigm shift by introducing a new method based on flow-induced dispersion analysis to study interaction kinetics while keeping biomolecules in solution, eliminating the need for surface immobilization and thereby preserving molecular mobility and avoiding structural constraints.

Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) accounts for about 75% of new bladder cancer diagnoses. Early detection improves survival, yet routine white-light cystoscopy is invasive, costly, and can miss up to 45% of flat or small lesions. These shortcomings have prompted development of label-free diagnostic tools that read the intrinsic optical, electrical, or mechanical signatures of urinary biomarkers without added labels.
