Molecular mapping of periodontal tissues using infrared microspectroscopy

Molecular mapping of periodontal tissues using infrared microspectroscopy

BACKGROUND: Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting structures of the teeth. Infrared microspectroscopy has the potential to simultaneously monitor multiple disease markers, including cellular infiltration and collagen catabolism, and hence differentiate diseased and healthy tissues. Therefore, our aim was to establish an infrared microspectroscopy methodology with wh...

Mid-infrared Microspectroscopy of Difficult Samples Using Near-Field Photothermal Microspectroscopy

www.spectroscopyonl ine.com espite recent advances in Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) microspectroscopy and micro-attenuated total reflectance (ATR), for many types of samples there remains a need for even higher spatial resolution, or for a nondestructive method of recording localized mid-IR spectra from asreceived samples without the risk of damage or alteration by preparation techniques. ...

Preclinical screening of anticancer drugs using infrared (IR) microspectroscopy.

High-throughput label-free technologies such as IR microscopy can objectively assess the effect of drugs upon cellular systems, offering the potential of a valuable preclinical tool that can aid in the drug development process.
