TL;DR: In this article, the angular distribution of light backscattered by biological cells and tissues was studied using a novel instrument for imaging the angular distributions of light in biological images, and it was shown that the scattering from subcellular structure in both normal and cancerous human cells is best fitted to inverse power-law distributions for the sizes of the scattering objects.

TL;DR: A model based on the Born approximation and von Karman (self-affine) spatial correlation of submicron tissue refractive index is applied to light scattering spectra obtained from excised esophagi of normal and carcinogen-treated rats, indicating that changes in tissue self-affinity can serve as a potential biomarker for precancer.

TL;DR: A novel interferometer is employed to measure the angular distribution of light backscattered by a turbid medium and through comparison of the measured data with the predictions of Mie theory, the size of the scatterers comprising the medium is determined with subwavelength precision.

TL;DR: A novel microfluidic platform for antibiotic susceptibility testing based on stress-activation of biosynthetic pathways that are the primary targets of antibiotics, which has great potential for studying the effects of various stresses on bacteria and their antibiotic susceptibility.

TL;DR: The relative contributions of the nucleus and nucleolus to the scattering of the entire cell are determined, and the applicability of the homogeneous spherical model to non-spherical and heterogeneous organelles in forward scattering is evaluated.
