Biomedical imaging with light-scattering spectroscopy (LSS) is a novel optical technology developed to probe the structure of living epithelial cells in situ without need for tissue removal.

Scientists found that healthy women can carry genetic changes in their breast cells that are thought to be characteristic of invasive breast cancer.

"We would have classified these cells as having invasive breast cancer based on these [DNA] aberrations." Navin and his team analyzed more than 83,000 breast epithelial cells from 49 healthy women ...

We strive to understand the molecular and cellular regulation of epithelial appendage (hair, mammary gland, tooth) development and how they are perturbed in diseases such as congenital disorders or ...
