Engineers develop a technique for viewing changes in a cell’s nucleus as they occur — a discovery that could speed research into cancer and other diseases.

Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) are using precision lasers to effectively treat early vocal cord cancers without reducing the patient’s voice quality. The pulsed Potassium-Titanyl-Phosphate laser being used at MGH is an angiolytic laser that uses wavelengths of laser light to specifically target diseased cells without damaging healthy vocal cord tissue. A team led [...]
