Scientists open possibilities of going deeper into scattering tissue with less light

Medical applications of light, looking inside human tissue, often are limited by the highly scattering nature of tissue. Inuitively, a lower limit of one photon per camera pixel is assumed.

UCLA researchers find ways to soften or stiffen up T cells for controlling immune response

T cells, the managers of our immune systems, spend their days shaking hands with another type of cell that presents small pieces of protein from pathogens or cancerous cells to the T cell.
