What Challenges are Associated with Live Cell Imaging in Cancer?
Despite its advantages, there are several challenges in live cell imaging:
Phototoxicity: Prolonged exposure to light can damage cells. Photobleaching: Fluorescent dyes can lose their brightness over time. Image analysis: Large volumes of data require sophisticated analysis techniques. Complexity: Imaging live cells in three dimensions adds complexity to data interpretation.
Researchers are continuously developing new methods and technologies to overcome these challenges and improve the effectiveness of live cell imaging.
