Quantitative, Noninvasive Optical Sensing in Tissue Engineered Oral Mucosal Constructs

Noninvasive characterization of ex-vivo produced oral-mucosal equivalent (EVPOME) tissues was simulated using a Monte Carlo code to predict spatially-resolved fluorescence in a multi-layered tissue model. Relative contributions to surface fluorescence from endogenous fluorophores were quantified.
