Infrared spectroscopic studies of cells and tissues: triple helix proteins as a potential biomarker for tumors.

In this work, the infrared (IR) spectra of living neural cells in suspension, native brain tissue, and native brain tumor tissue were investigated. Methods were developed to overcome the strong IR signal of liquid water so that the signal from the cellular biochemicals could be seen. Measurements co...
