Abstract: Systems and methods of using the same for functional fluorescence imaging of live cells in suspension with isotropic three dimensional (3D) diffraction-limited spatial resolution are disclosed. The method-live cell computed tomography (LCCT)-involves the acquisition of a series of two dimensional (2D) pseudo-projection images from different perspectives of the cell that rotates around an axis that is perpendicular to the optical axis of the imaging system. The volumetric image of the cell is then tomographically reconstructed.

Abstract: A thixotropic and biocompatible gel, formed by combining of 4-arm polyethylene glycol with fumed silica (PEG-silica). The thixotropicity of the gel is affected by the ratio of PEG to silica. To study the gels biocompatibility, the cell suspension in PBS or another medium was added to the PEG-silica gel via mixing to uniformly disperse the cells in the gel and then placed in an incubator before performing fluorescence live-dead assays. Duration of cell viability (cell life time) in gels was measured to be up to several days, depending on gel composition. Due to their optical and fluidic properties the gels are compatible with live cell imaging including 3D computed tomography and offer a means for moving the cells in a highly controllable manner by applying and removing pressure on the gels.
