abstract = "Using serotonin as the biomarker, spatially re-solved Raman spectroscopy successfully detects heart transplant rejection without exogenous labeling and chemical fixation. The strong and characteristic Raman spectral signature of serotonin enables this direct optical detection without re-sorting to complicated data processing procedures. As the role of serotonin in various immune responses becomes increasingly recognized, this work presents a new paradigm in utilizing Raman spectroscopy as a clinically viable molecular specific diagnostic tool.",
