Tissue engineering, rapidly developing branch of bioscience, is widely adopted for the purposes of the tissue growing using the substrate materials. Three-dimensional porous scaffolds possess a great opportunity for the directional growth of the cells and for the supplying them with nutrients. Howev

Abstract
In this article optical coherence tomography is first applied in research on nacre of pearls and mother oysters. The nondestructive OCT measurement can show the shellβnucleus features, quantify the nacre thickness and unveil hierarchical structure during nacre formation. The experimental results show the potential of OCT imaging in pearl identification and cultivation. Β© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nowadays the optical coherent tomography (OCT) is one of the most perspective optical diagnostic modalities widely used for non-invasive imaging of the internal structure of various complex turbid media from a range of composite materials to biological tissues. OCT has been attracting a great amount

## Abstract The subtle tissue changes associated with the early stages of malignancies, such as cancer, are not clearly discernible even at the current, improved, resolution of optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems. However, these changes directly affect the spectral content of the OCT image t
## Abstract ## Background and Objective Oral cancer results in 10,000 U.S. deaths annually. Improved highly sensitive diagnostics allowing early detection of oral cancer would benefit patient survival and quality of life. Objective was to investigate in vivo nonβinvasive optical coherence tomograp
Several investigations suggest that the early stages of atherosclerosis are modulated by the selective permeability of the vascular tissue to pro-inflammatory molecules of different molecular weights. Up to date, a few experiments have been performed to study the permeability of arterial tissue to d
