Imaging glucose uptake activity inside single cells

Sunday, July 19, 2015 - 19:50 in Biology & Nature

A new approach to visualize glucose uptake activity in single living cells by light microscopy with minimum disturbance has been described by researchers. The team developed a new glucose analogue that can mimic the natural glucose, and imaged its uptake as energy source by living cancer cells, neurons and tissues at the single cell level.
