Near-Infrared Spectroscopic Characterization of Cardiac and Renal Fibrosis in Fixed and Fresh Rat Tissue

Invited for this month‘s cover are the collaborating group(s) of Center for Biospectroscopy at Monash University and Austin Health at the University of Melbourne, University of Eastern Finland and the University of Queensland. The cover-art shows a handheld near-infrared spectroscopic probe to detect fibrosis in real time using a murine model. More information can be found in the Research Article by John A. Adegoke, Jaishankar Raman, Bayden R. Wood, and co-workers.
