  • LABEL-FREE METHODS FOR ASSESSING CELL STATE IN A BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE
    Publication number: 20260287575
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of assessing cell state within a biological sample. In particular, the present invention provides techniques for identifying a live cell fraction within a biological sample through use of OCM/dOCM imaging, and determining a metabolic signature of the identified live cell fraction through use of FLIM imaging. The present invention further provides techniques for assessing changes in cell state of a live cell fraction within a biological sample through use of OCM/dOCM and FLIM imaging in response to a pharmaceutical intervention.
