Multi-probe Metabolic Fluorescence Microscopy Captures Poor Tumor Immunogenicity
Conference Optical Molecular Probes Imaging and Drug Delivery Omp 2025 in Proceedings Optica Biophotonics Congress 2025 Part of Optica Biophotonics Congress Optics in the Life Sciences · January 1, 2025 Visualizing complex tumor-immune metabolic interactions is imperative to understanding cancer progression. Cocultures of 4T1 tumor cells and CD8+ T cells were imaged for glucose uptake and mitochondrial metabolism. Results point to poor immunogenic tumor p ...

Journal Article Sci Adv · April 5, 2024 Fewer than 20% of triple-negative breast cancer patients experience long-term responses to mainstay chemotherapy. Resistant tumor subpopulations use alternative metabolic pathways to escape therapy, survive, and eventually recur. Here, we show in vivo, lon ...

Conference Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging Proceedings of SPIE · January 1, 2024 We developed an approach to quantify intra-tumoral metabolic heterogeneity of in vivo tumor models by leveraging a computationally designed multi-scale microscope and a suite of exogenous fluorescent contrast agents to provide functional and structural inf ...
