Using biophotonics to study signaling mechanisms in a single living cell

Abstract

To illustrate the power of the biophysical approach in solving important problems in life science, I present here one of our current research projects as an example. We have developed special biophotonic techniques to study the dynamic properties of signaling proteins in a single living cell. Such a study allowed us to gain new insight into the signaling mechanism that regulates programmed cell death.
