Label-free sensing of cells with fluorescence lifetime imaging: The quest for metabolic heterogeneity [Medical Sciences]

Molecular, morphological, and physiological heterogeneity is the inherent property of cells which governs differences in their response to external influence. Tumor cell metabolic heterogeneity is of a special interest due to its clinical relevance to tumor progression and therapeutic outcomes. Rapid, sensitive, and noninvasive assessment of metabolic heterogeneity of cells...
