Imaging Cellular Function in Lung Tissue
The CLPL is using molecular fluorescence imaging to probe cellular function in lung cells and tissue. This approach has the potential to provide a quantitative assessment of the effect of injurious conditions on lung mitochondrial function and to evaluate the impact of therapies that target mitochondria.
