Reactivatable stimulated emission depletion microscopy using fluorescence-recoverable nanographene by Qiqi Yang, Antonio Virgilio Failla, Petri Turunen, Ana Mateos-Maroto, Meiyu Gai, Werner Zuschratter, Sophia Westendorf, Márton Gelléri, Qiang Chen, Goudappagouda, Hao Zhao, Xingfu Zhu, Svenja Morsbach, Marcus Scheele, Wei Yan, Katharina Landfester, Ryota Kabe, Mischa Bonn, Akimitsu Narita, Xiaomin Liu

“…In contrast to the photo-induced decomposition of other fluorophores, the fluorescence of DBOV is only temporarily deactivated and can be reactivated by near-infrared light (including the 775 nm depletion beam). As a result, this fluorophore allows for hours-long, high-resolution 3D STED imaging, greatly expanding the applications of STED microscopy.…”

Diagnostic performance of optical spectral transmission compared to magnetic resonance imaging in patients with inflammatory arthritis by Konstantinos Triantafyllias, Mohammed Alhaddad, Andreas Schwarting, Veronika Balaklytska, Xenofon Baraliakos

“…Abstract Background Optical spectral transmission (OST) is a modern diagnostic method capable of quantifying inflammation in the finger and wrist joints of arthritis patients by assessing the blood-specific absorption of light transmitted through a tissue. The diagnostic performance of this modality has not been adequately examined and data regarding OST associations with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are limited. …”
