Coherent optical tissue biopsy and analysis targeting muscle pathology

这种跨学科的国际合作研究应该会改变组织结构的特点，对健康、生物技术和肉类工业产生广泛影响。具体的好处包括：肌肉和其他组织切片和样本的组织学无处不在的过程所需的时间/精力大幅减少；实验所需的动物数量和对同一动物进行时序研究的可能性大幅减少；以及人类肌肉营养不良症，这是直接评估肌肉组织和疾病治疗和进展的新能力。这一系列的进步应该会产生具有重大商业意义的知识产权。

This international, interdisciplinary collaborative research should change the way structures in tissues are characterised with broad impact on health, biotechnology, and the meat industry. Specific benefits include: a large reduction in the time/effort required for the ubiquitous process of histology of muscle and other tissue sections and samples; a large reduction in the number of animals required in experimentation and the possibility of time sequential studies of the same animal; and in muscular dystrophy in humans, a new capability in the direct assessment of muscle tissue and the disease treatment and progression. This suite of advances should generate intellectual property of major commercial importance.
