We developed a microfluidic system for dynamic, single-cell imaging of yeast. This technology enables continuous flow and flow switching for observing gene expression changes in real-time.

Area of Science:

  • Cellular biology
  • Biotechnology
  • Microfluidics

Background:

  • Investigating cellular processes and gene regulatory networks requires advanced imaging technologies.
  • Dynamic, single-cell analysis is crucial for understanding complex biological systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel microfluidic system for high-magnification, time-lapse fluorescence imaging of single yeast cells.
  • To enable continuous flow and flow switching for dynamic cellular studies.

Main Methods:

  • A microfluidic system was designed for mechanical trapping of yeast cells.
  • The system supports continuous flow and flow switching during imaging.
  • Time-lapse high-magnification fluorescence microscopy was employed.
