Raman Microscopy as a Potential Basis for Non-Invasive Assessment of the Burden of Senescent Cells

Researchers here provide a proof of concept for the use of Raman spectroscopy to non-invasively measure the burden of senescent cells in an imaged tissue. This works because Raman imaging can provide distinct signatures of different molecules via scattering of photons.

The useful part

Researchers here provide a proof of concept for the use of Raman spectroscopy to non-invasively measure the burden of senescent cells in an imaged tissue. This works because Raman imaging can provide distinct signatures of different molecules via scattering of photons. Provided the field of imaging is sufficiently constrained, it is possible to produce results that measure differing abundances of specific molecules in different cells.

How it works

  • Senescent cells exhibit a range of upregulated and downregulated proteins and other molecules, so in principle creating a system to assess the presence of senescent cells is just a matter of putting in the...
