The refractive index fluctuations in the connective tissue layer (stroma) of human cervical tissues having different grades of precancers (dysplasia) was quantified using a wavelet-based multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis model. The results show clear signature of multi-scale self-similarity in the index fluctuations of the tissues. Importantly, the refractive index fluctuations were found to be more anti-correlated at higher grades of precancers. Moreover, the strength of…

Fractal anisotropy in tissue refractive index fluctuations: potential role in precancer detection
Differential interference contrast images (DIC) are the direct representation of the refractive index fluctuations of human cervical tissues. These refractive index fluctuations are known to follow…
Spatial autocorrelation of Mueller matrix images as indicator of cervical pre-cancer detection
TLDR
The preliminary results about the stromal biology are very promising in the early detection of cervical cancer and indicate a demarcation of different grades of cancer from normal tissue.

Turbulent nature of refractive-index variations in biological tissue.
TLDR
Phase-contrast microscopy shows that the structure of the refractive-index inhomogeneities in a variety of mammalian tissues resembles that of frozen turbulence, and the observed structure function fits the classical Kolmogorov model of turbulence.
Tissue self-affinity and polarized light scattering in the born approximation: a new model for precancer detection.
TLDR
A model based on the Born approximation and von Karman (self-affine) spatial correlation of submicron tissue refractive index is applied to light scattering spectra obtained from excised esophagi of normal and carcinogen-treated rats, indicating that changes in tissue self-affinity can serve as a potential biomarker for precancer.

New insights into the role of extracellular matrix during tumor onset and progression
TLDR
A view of the tumor as a functional tissue interconnected with the microenvironment has recently been described, and tumor cells reorganizing the extracellular matrix to facilitate communications and escape the homeostatic control exerted by the micro environment modify response to cytotoxic treatments.
Mosaic organization of DNA nucleotides.
TLDR
This work analyzes two classes of controls consisting of patchy nucleotide sequences generated by different algorithms--one without and one with long-range power-law correlations, finding that both types of sequences are quantitatively distinguishable by an alternative fluctuation analysis method.
