Purpose: Therapy resistance and fatal disease progression in glioblastoma are thought to result from the dynamics of intra-tumor heterogeneity. This study aimed at identifying and molecularly targeting tumor cells that can survive, adapt, and subclonally expand under primary therapy.
Experimental Design: To identify candidate markers and to experimentally access dynamics of subclonal progression in glioblastoma, we established a discovery cohort of paired vital cell samples obtained before and after primary therapy.
Photoacoustic remote sensing (PARS) microscopy is an emerging label-free optical absorption imaging modality. PARS operates by capturing nanosecond-scale optical fluctuations produced by photoacoustic pressures. These time-domain (TD) variations are usually projected by amplitude to determine optical absorption magnitude.
