The only label-free live cell imaging tool that lets you observe stem cells in 3D, over long periods of time at high spatial and temporal resolution and capture dynamic events in unparalleled detail.

Capturing the deposition and early growth of bone that occur during osteogenic differentiation

Here, we use Nanolive’s 3D Cell Explorer 96focus to capture the morphological and physiological changes that occur during osteogenic differentiation.

The label-free nature of our technology allowed us to image the process from day 1 to day 13, in a non-perturbed state, and at high temporal resolution (1 image taken every 10 mins using the 5×5 gridscan mode).

MSCs were grown on fibronectin-coated dishes until 100% confluency was reached and then MSC osteogenic differentiation medium (C-28013, PromoCell) was added.

Stem cells differentiating into neuronal cells

This video shows different stages of the differentiation of umbilical cord matrix human mesenchymal stem cells into neurons.

Human MSCs were grown in low-serum cell growth media in 35 mm dishes pre-coated with fibronectin. Then, neurogenic cell differentiation media was added to the cells, and changes were recorded using Nanolive’s 3D Cell Explorer 96focus.

3D long-term live imaging of stem cells

Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells were imaged for 15 hours; 1 image every 15s. The cells are visibly healthy because they continue to divide during image acquisition.

The cells were imaged with the 3D Cell Explorer.

Watch our webinar: Characterization of stem cell differentiation dynamics with label-free live cell imaging

 

In this webinar, Dr. Emma Gibbin-Lameira, Communications Specialist at Nanolive will:

  • discuss the unique challenges that stem cells pose to live cell imaging show how Nanolive’s new microscope, the 3D Cell Explorer 96focus, can overcome these difficulties
  • present never-seen-before footage of mesenchymal stem cells undergoing neural differentiation
  • discuss the dramatic phenotypic and morphological changes observed and the opportunities such research could offer
