Tissue degeneration in ALS affected spinal cord evaluated by Raman spectroscopy

Abstract The Raman spectral features from spinal cord tissue sections of transgenic, ALS model mice and non-transgenic mice were compared using 457 nm excitation line, profiting from the favourable signal intensity obtained in the molecular fingerprint region at this wavelength. Transverse sections...
