Myelin sheaths speed up impulse propagation along the axons of neurons without the need
for increasing axon diameter. Subsequently, myelin (which is made by oligodendrocytes in …

The myelin sheath enables dramatic speed enhancement for signal propagation in nerves.
In this work, myelinated nerve structure is experimentally and theoretically studied using …

The spinal cord is the primary neurological link between the brain and peripheral organs.
How important it is in everyday life is apparent in patients with spinal cord injury or …

Oligodendrocytes (OL) are a subset of glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS)
comprising the brain and spinal cord. The CNS environment is defined by complex …

Label-free in vivo imaging is crucial for elucidating the underlying mechanisms of many
important biological systems in their most native states. However, the applicability of existing …

Compensation of sample-induced optical aberrations is crucial for visualizing microscopic
structures deep within biological tissues. However, strong multiple scattering poses a …

Optical microscopy is a valuable tool for in vivo monitoring of biological structures and
functions because of its non-invasiveness. However, imaging deep into biological tissues is …

The spinal cord (SC) is crucial for a myriad of somatosensory, autonomic signal processing,
and transductions. Understanding the SC vascular structure and function thus plays an …

Polaritons are arousing tremendous interests in physics and material sciences for their
unique and amazing properties, especially including the condensation, lasing without …

Elastic light scattering spectroscopy (ELSS) has been proven a powerful method in
measuring tissue structures with exquisite nanoscale sensitivity. However, ELSS contrast in …
