About this Research Topic
The detection techniques on cells and exosomes in complex fluids, e.g. blood, are crucial in disease diagnostic, medical care and drug development researches. For instance, exosomes have been validated to be effective biomarkers for the early stages of cancer, Parkinsonian syndrome, Alzheimer's disease and etc. However, as well known, it is extremely difficult to distinguish different cells and exosomes from the complex fluid circumstance directly, with high sensitivity and validity.
In this Research Topic, we hope to provide a forum for the researchers in the relevant fields, to share their new approaches, techniques and observations on the biophotonics and nanophotonics related to cells and exosomes detection.
The Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following themes:
• Imaging Techniques including bioimaging, Imaging algorithms, and fluorescent imaging;
• Optofluidics and waveguide;
• Probing and sensing;
• Fabrication and application of nanophotonic devices;
• Novel light beams and nanoscale interaction between light and materials.
Keywords: biophotonics, nanophotonics, photonics, spectroscopy, fluorescence
