Cell Function Imaging Services
Cells are the basic units of living organisms and have a variety of important functions that enable organisms to function properly and sustain life. Different types of cells have specific functions to meet the needs of different tissues and to maintain the normal life activities of an organism. Cell function imaging can be used to observe and analyze the functions of living cells, usually by visualizing and recording intracellular biological processes, and molecular interactions, and quantifying many metrics to reveal information about the cell's function. In addition to understanding the physiological mechanisms of cells, cell function imaging can also obtain information related to the mechanisms of disease occurrence and the actions and effects of drugs.
