The light scattering characteristic plays a very important role in optic imaging and diagnostic applications. For optical detection of the cell, cell scattering characteristics have an extremely vital role. In this paper, we use the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm to simulate the propagation and scattering of light in biological cells. The two-dimensional scattering cell models were set up based on the FDTD algorithm. The cell models of normal cells and cancerous cells were established, and the shapes of organelles, such as mitochondria, were elliptical. Based on these models, three aspects of the scattering characteristics were studied. First, the radar cross section (RCS) distribution curves of the corresponding cell models were calculated, then corresponding relationships between the size and the refractive index of the nucleus and light scattering information were analyzed in the three periods of cell canceration. The values of RCS increase positively with the increase of the nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio in the cancerous process when the scattering angle ranges from 0° to 20°. Second, the effect of organelles in the scattering was analyzed. The peak value of the RCS of cells with mitochondria is higher than the cells without mitochondria when the scattering angle ranges from 20° to 180°. Third, we demonstrated that the influence of cell shape is important, and the impact was revealed by the two typical ideal cells: round cells and oval cells. When the scattering angle ranges from 0° to 80°, the peak values and the frequencies of the appearance of the peaks from the two models are roughly similar. It can be concluded that: (1) the size of the nuclei and the change of the refractive index of cells have a certain impact on light scattering information of the whole cell; (2) mitochondria and other small organelles contribute to the cell light scattering characteristics in the larger scattering angle area; and (3) the change of the cell shape significantly influences the value of scattering peak and the deviation of scattering peak position. The results of the numerical simulation will guide subsequent experiments and early diagnosis of cervical cancer.

Recently light-driven microdrones have been demonstrated, making use of plasmonic nanomotors based on directional resonant chiral light scattering. These nanomotors can be addressed individually, without requiring the tracking of a focused laser, leading to exceptional 2D maneuverability which renders microdrones a versatile robotic platform in aqueous environments. Here, we incorporate a light-operated manipulator, a plasmonic nano-tweezer, into the microdrone platform, rendering it a microrobot by enabling precise, all-optical transport and delivery of single nanoparticles suspended in solution.

Background: Over the past two decades, an increased understanding of molecular alterations has greatly refined salivary gland tumor classification. Many tumors that were previously difficult or impossible to classify have been recognized to represent emerging entities based on shared histologic, immunophenotypic and molecular characteristics. While initial attention was given to carcinomas, more recently molecular discoveries have shed light on salivary gland adenomas as well.

This study explores the development of silica-gold nanostructures conjugated with histatin 5 (H5) and amphotericin B (AB) for the management of Candida albicans-induced candidiasis. H5 and AB were covalently attached to the silica-gold nanostructures (ASi-GN) using EDC-NHS chemistry, with fluorescent FITC labeling employed in a parallel experiment to study nanostructure localization. Characterization techniques, including UV-Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential analysis, fluorescence spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and drug release studies, confirmed the successful conjugation and stability of the nanostructures.

Polaritonic crystals - periodic structures where the hybrid light-matter waves called polaritons can form Bloch states - promise a deeply subdiffractional nanolight manipulation and enhanced light-matter interaction. In particular, polaritons in van der Waals materials boast extreme field confinement and long lifetimes allowing for the exploitation of wave phenomena at the nanoscale. However, in conventionally patterned nanostructures, polaritons are prone to severe scattering loss at the sharp material edges, making it challenging to create functional polaritonic crystals.
