imaging in live cells

Imaging in live cells refers to techniques used to visualize and study living cells in real time, without harming them. Methods like fluorescence microscopy allow scientists to tag specific proteins or structures in cells with fluorescent dyes, making them visible under special light. This enables researchers to observe processes such as cell division, movement, or interactions with other cells. Live-cell imaging helps improve our understanding of biology and disease by providing insights into cellular functions and dynamics as they occur naturally. This approach is crucial for advancements in medicine, drug development, and understanding fundamental life processes.
