Over the last few years, the field of imaging has exploded with new technologies and approaches. From the days of examining fixed tissues with light or electron microscopy the field has rapidly evolved into highly detailed exploration of structure/function relationships in living tissues. Not only have these developing technologies been applied to isolated cells and cell culture systems, but newer approaches have provided the ability to study living tissues and organs both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, the development of specific fluorescent probes in combination with imaging has permitted the investigation of intracellular physiological processes such as cell signaling pathways including cell calcium, pH and cAMP and protein assembly and lipid rafts. This Physiology in Focus brings together leading experts in several new and exciting areas of imaging.
