Intravital microscopy
Intravital microscopy is an extremely powerful tool that enables imaging several biological processes in live animals. Recently, the ability to image subcellular structures in several organs combined with the development of sophisticated genetic tools has made possible extending this approach to investigate several aspects of cell biology. Here we provide a general overview of intravital micros...
متن کاملIntravital microscopy
In principle, there is little difference between conventional microscopy methods and intravital microscopy; in practice, however, there are significant differences in the way images are acquired and processed and a number of unusual features are associated with the microscope mechanics and other accessories. This note describes the approaches that we have developed over the last few years at GC...
متن کاملBacteria as Multicellular Organisms
W ithout bacteria, life on earth could not exist in its present form. Bacteria are key play ers in many geochemical processes, including the fundamental nitrogen, carbon and sulfur cycles, which are critical to the circulation of life's basic elements. If these processes were to grind to a halt, the planet's soils, wa ters and atmosphere would become inhospitable for life. Yet in spite of suc...
متن کاملHigh-Resolution Intravital Microscopy
Cellular communication constitutes a fundamental mechanism of life, for instance by permitting transfer of information through synapses in the nervous system and by leading to activation of cells during the course of immune responses. Monitoring cell-cell interactions within living adult organisms is crucial in order to draw conclusions on their behavior with respect to the fate of cells, tissu...
متن کاملThe origins of multicellular organisms.
Multicellularity has evolved in several eukaryotic lineages leading to plants, fungi, and animals. Theoretically, in each case, this involved (1) cell-to-cell adhesion with an alignment-of-fitness among cells, (2) cell-to-cell communication, cooperation, and specialization with an export-of-fitness to a multicellular organism, and (3) in some cases, a transition from "simple" to "complex" multi...
