Multimodal Imaging in Biology & Medicine

by Bhanu Jena and Douglas Taatjes

NanoCellBiology: Multimodal Imaging in Biology and Medicine, edited by Bhanu P. Jena and Douglas J. Taatjes, is a collection of chapters that describe examples of the use of AFM, electron microscopy, photon correlation spectroscopy, confocal microscopy, fluorescence/CD spectroscopy, and other imaging approaches for revealing important structures and their function in cells.  A wonderful example is the subject of the first several chapters, which describe the discovery of the porosome.  Discovered in the 1990s, first in pancreatic acinar cells, the porosome is now considered a universal secretory portal in cells.  The remaining chapters add to this excellent collection of studies employing high-resolution imaging to examine, for example, amylin aggregation, mRNA nanomachines, DNA delivery nanosystems, and other interesting applications of nano-cell-biology.”
