Why is it important?
This work illustrates the potential of stimuli-responsive photonic band-gap materials in tissue-/organ-level in vivo bio-imaging.
Perspectives
All in all, potentials of this type of colloidal crystalline microspheres with stimuli-responsive photonic band-gap properties for bio-imaging warrant further exploration.
