The technique provides high-resolution images that can monitor the interactions of cells across longer time periods than previously possible.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign published details of their study in the November 2016 issue of the Progress in Quantum Electronics journal. The researchers demonstrated the method known as photonic crystal-enhanced microscopy (PCEM), on various types of cancer cells and stem cells, revealing that each cell type had its own exclusive adhesion properties.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azosensors.com\/news.aspx?newsID=11773\">http:\/\/www.azosensors.com\/news.aspx?newsID=11773<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had to take a second review of this since I posted it, and right away I see something quite interesting that folks have overlooked for a while.
