Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – December 2025

Deeksha Sankepalle and the group at Tufts University, USA developed an advanced multi-wavelength photoacoustic imaging system. It integrates a pulsed, tunable laser with an ultrasound acquisition platform to provide functional 3D imaging. The system enables real-time, non-invasive, high-resolution imaging of tumor vasculature by tracking oxygen saturation in the tumor.

Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – September 2025

Published in journal Cancer Medicine, the study shows that the therapeutic effect of photoimmunotherapy is highly dependent on the used light irradiation conditions. Application of the ML7710 medical laser at different durations and powers resulted in highest anti-tumor effect with increased light dose but lowering fluence rate below what is currently used in clinic.

Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – August 2025

Laser-sharp research of the month is by Furusawa et al. at Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, USA. The discovery, published in Annals of Medicine, showed the potential of photoimmunotherapy for treating breast cancer. To expand the usefulness of photoimmunotherapy outside the clinically approved head & neck indication, the new therapy targeted epithelial cell adhesion molecule in breast cancer.

Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – July 2025

The spotlight of the month goes to Andrew Langley et al. at Tufts University, USA, for their impressive work in leveraging photoacoustic imaging for real-time monitoring of phototherapy. Photoacoustic imaging is 3D, non-ionizing and non-invasive imaging method, based on optical absorption that creates pressure waves detected by ultrasound transducer.

Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – June 2025

Chen-Hua Ma et al. ​​Optical Therapeutics & Nanotechnology Laboratory at University of Maryland combined photoimmunotherapy with ethanol ablation to achieve improved drug retention and light penetration, especially important for treating pigmented organs like liver and pancreas. Modulight’s ML7710 laser was used for both therapeutic activation of the nanoconstruct, as well as for theranostic monitoring of the process.
