Public awareness and willingness to come forward with symptoms will play an important role alongside the capabilities of technologies in the hands of health care professionals. Advances in optical imaging represent one route to improving these technologies, giving health care professionals the tools to detect cancer in its early stages.

Pancreatic cancer is a rare, yet elusive and deadly cancer, with a five-year survival rate of about 10%. If the cancer has metastasized, that rate lowers to 3%. And treatment options are extremely limited.

Optical imaging methods are some of the most straightforward when designing compact, handheld imaging devices, and are widely used for the diagnosis of tumors and therapeutic monitoring.3

Scientists have designed an optical tool that offers clear three-dimensional images of the rhizosphere. This innovative tool will help scientists to study plant-microbe interactions and biomolecular mechanisms.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), commonly referred to as simply "lupus", is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system attacks healthy tissue.
