title: Stem cells in the wild: understanding the World of stem cells through intravital imaging.
abstract: The limitations of canonical imaging techniques have hampered our abilities to study stem cells in their native environment. Here, we discuss some of the exciting ways stem cells are being visualized by intravital imaging, the intriguing discoveries that have resulted from these endeavors, and the future of this stimulating field.
