title: Future of biomedical sciences: single molecule microscopy.
abstract: The behavior of single molecule defines whether a cell lives, dies, or responds to a specific drug treatment. Single molecule microscopies have begun to reveal the number, location, and functionalities of molecules outside and inside living cells. This issue of Biopolymers presents a first set of reviews that aim to highlight the accomplishments and future prospects of single molecule microscopies.
