title: Video-microscopic imaging of cell spatio-temporal dispersion and migration.
abstract: Live-cell imaging has become a powerful analytical tool in most cell biology laboratories. The scope of this paper is to give an overview of the environmental considerations for maintaining living cells on the microscope stage and the technical advances permitting multi-parameter imaging. The paper will then focus on two-dimensional and three-dimensional analysis of cell dispersion and migration and finally give a brief insight on computational modeling of the cell behavior.
