Fat accumulation in liver cells is central to several metabolic disorders, but observing the process in living tissue models remains difficult. Fluorescent labels and stains can provide detailed images, but they may disrupt cells or capture only selected time points. A label-free approach for tracking changes in lipid storage over time in three-dimensional mouse liver organoids is reported in Biophotonics Discovery.
New Imaging Technique Enhances Tracking of Lipid Storage in Living Liver Organoids
A new label-free imaging technique has been developed to track lipid storage in living liver organoids, which could enhance understanding of metabolic disorders. This research, published in Biophotonics Discovery, involves advancements in imaging technology that could have implications for medical research. Improved understanding of liver conditions is crucial for healthcare developments in Iran, where liver diseases are prevalent.
