Current methods for identifying neoplastic cells and discerning them from their normal
counterparts are often nonspecific, slow, biologically perturbing, or a combination thereof …

The capabilities of using gold nanoparticle based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
(SERS) to obtain blood serum biochemical information for non-invasive colorectal cancer …

Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectro-imaging enables global analysis of samples, with
resolution close to the cellular level. Recent studies have shown that FT-IR imaging enables …

Instrumentation used in infrared microspectroscopy (IR-MSP) permits the acquisition of
spectra from samples as small as 100 pg (10− 10 g), and as small as 1 pg for Raman …

This focal point article aims to introduce the readers to a new spectroscopic endeavor,
infrared spectroscopy of entire cells and tissues, and to present an overview of the results …

Biomolecular structure elucidation is one of the major techniques for studying the basic
processes of life. These processes get modulated, hindered or altered due to various causes …

The spectroscopy of molecular vibrations using mid-infrared or Raman techniques has been
applied to samples of human tissue or body fluids. This review gives examples for its …
