title: High-throughput, single-cell NF-κB dynamics.
abstract: Single cells in a population often respond differently to perturbations in the environment. Live-cell microscopy has enabled scientists to observe these differences at the single-cell level. Some advantages of live-cell imaging over population-based methods include better time resolution, higher sensitivity, automation, and richer datasets. One specific area where live-cell microscopy has made a significant impact is the field of NF-κB signaling dynamics, and recent efforts have focused on making live-cell imaging of these dynamics more high-throughput. We highlight the major aspects of increasing throughput and describe a current system that can monitor, image and analyze the NF-κB activation of thousands of single cells in parallel.
