In vivo fluorescence microscopy: lessons from observing cell behavior in their native environment.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microscopic imaging techniques to visualize cellular behaviors in their natural environment play a pivotal role in biomedical research. Here, we review how recent technical advances in intravital microscopy have enabled unprecedented access to cellular physiology in various organs of mice in normal and diseased states.

Single-molecule imaging in vivo: the dancing building blocks of the cell.
A cell can be viewed as a dynamic puzzle, where single pieces shuffle in space, change their conformation to fit different partners, and new pieces are generated while old ones are destroyed. Microscopy has become capable of directly observing the pieces of the puzzle, which are single molecules. Single-molecule microscopy in vivo provides new insights into the molecular processes underlying th...
متن کاملA Thin Layer Imaging with the Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy
Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) is an optical technique that allows imaging of a thin layer of the sample with a thickness of about 100-200 nm. It is used in science of cell biology to study cellular processes, especially near the membranes of living cells. This method is based on the total internal reflection phenomenon, where the evanescent wave is generated in the l...

متن کاملبررسی اثر تماس مستقیم سلولهایT بکر با سلولهای فیبروبلاست تحریک شده با BCG بر القای سلولهایT تنظیمی
Background: Lymph node stromal fibroblasts are interconnected with TCD4+ cells and affect their phenotype and function. Understanding the nature of these interactions under unusual conditions like infections will help to their application in control and regulation of immune responses. Materials and methods: Lymph node fibroblasts were affected in BCG primed immune environment by both in-...
متن کاملA Near-Infrared Cell Tracker Reagent for Multiscopic In Vivo Imaging and Quantification of Leukocyte Immune Responses
The complexity of the tumor microenvironment necessitates that cell behavior is studied in a broad, multi-scale context. Although tomographic and microscopy-based far and near infrared fluorescence (NIRF, >650 nm) imaging methods offer high resolution, sensitivity, and depth penetration, there has been a lack of optimized NIRF agents to label and track cells in their native environments at diff...
