To overcome these problems, Min and his team developed a new
modality to visualize glucose uptake activity inside single cells based on stimulated Raman scattering (SRS)
imaging, and demonstrated its use in live cancer cells, tumor xenograft tissues,
primary neurons and mouse brain tissues.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis may be useful to differentiate inflammatory disease from cancer, but in the light of advanced
imaging availability, it is rarely useful as a
primary diagnostic
modality.
