New Imaging Tool Advances Study of Lipid Biology

From flies to humans, there are many types lipids operating at once. Now, a team led by UC San Diego bioengineers presents what they believe is the first method for distinguishing multiple lipid subtypes in cells and tissue samples by using nondestructive label-free optical imaging methods.

This multi-color image visualizes structures containing different lipid subtypes that the researchers found in the same region of the fat body tissue within a fruit fly. Each lipid subtype has a different molecular composition that is represented by a different color in this image. These lipid subtypes were found using the team’s new PRM-SRS imaging detection technologies. The research team led by UC San Diego bioengineers that created this technology believe that it is the first method for distinguishing multiple lipid subtypes in cells and tissue samples by using nondestructive label-free optical imaging methods.
