Summary
Cells are the smallest units of living organisms, and understanding their functions is a crucial key to unraveling biological systems. However, many aspects of cell function at the single-cell level remain not entirely understood. Optical microscopy has become an essential tool in the field of biology for unraveling the mysteries of many biological phenomena. Tracking and understanding the sequence of processes by which living cells receive substances from the outside and change their functions at the molecular level will lead to a new understanding of cellular functions and precise control of such functions at the single-cell level. This project aims to develop a new platform that fully utilizes nanomaterials and microscopy techniques to properly understand the function of living single cells.
