The microbial threat: Can rare earths help?

abstract：:Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is a noninvasive imaging technique and is excellent to study structural and functional changes in the microcirculation. In this work, a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation model in mice is noninvasively evaluated by PAM. PAM is used to image the microvascular structural changes...
