Bioluminescence Imaging Technology
A Powerful Tool for Medical Research
Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is a powerful methodology that has been developed over the last decade as a non-invasive imaging technique for studying biological processes in living organisms. BLI utilizes light emitted by enzyme-catalyzed reactions to visualize and quantify biological events in real-time, providing valuable insights into cellular and molecular dynamics.
Applications in Medical Research
BLI has become an invaluable tool in medical research, enabling researchers to study a wide range of biological processes, including:
- Gene expression and regulation
- Cell proliferation and migration
- Immune responses
- Tumor growth and metastasis
- Drug efficacy and toxicity
By providing real-time visualization of biological events, BLI allows researchers to gain a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms and develop more effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
