Imaging method reveals new cells and structures in human brain tissue January 31, 2024 • 12:00 a.m. Imaging method reveals new cells and structures in human brain tissue MIT News, Jan. 31, 2024A new microscopy technique that enables high-resolution imaging could one day help doctors diagnose and treat brain tumors. “We’re starting to see how important the interactions of neurons and synapses with the surrounding brain are to the growth and progression of tumors,” said UTMB’s Dr. Pablo Valdes. “A lot of those things we really couldn’t see with conventional tools, but now we have a tool to look at those tissues at the nanoscale and try to understand these interactions.” This news was also reported in Interesting Engineering and The Mirage.
