Laser Bioprinting with Cell Spheroids: Accurate and Gentle.

Laser printing with cell spheroids can become a promising approach in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, the use of standard laser bioprinters for this purpose is not optimal as they are optimized for transferring smaller objects, such as cells and microorganisms. The use of standard laser systems and protocols for the transfer of cell spheroids leads either to their destruction or to a significant deterioration in the quality of bioprinting.

[Fluorescence control of dental calculus removal].

The main condition of periodontitis prevention is the full calculus removal from the teeth surface. This procedure should be fulfilled without harming adjacent unaffected tooth tissues. Nevertheless the problem of sensitive and precise estimating of tooth-calculus interface exists and potential risk of hard tissue damage remains.

[Dental calculus diagnostics with the help of laser fluorescence].

The work is devoted to the development of fast and noninvasive method of sub- and supragingival dental calculus detection, which growth led to periodontitis. It is shown experimentally, that presence and absence of dental calculus can be effectively detected by laser fluorescence spectroscopy in visual range.

Optical coherent tomography for in vivo determination of changes in hair cross section and diameter during treatment with glucocorticosteroids--a simple method to screen for doping substances?

Eighty percent of hair follicles are in the growing phase. They grow approximately 0.3 mm/day.
