Topic
As part of an international research network (see LiveHeart and 4DHeart), this new project aims at investigating zebrafish heart development and regeneration by devising new in vivo imaging strategies.


Multicolor live imaging of the zebrafish beating heart using multiphoton light-sheet microscopy. The spatio-temporal resolution is sufficient to track individual cell movements during a cardiac cycle. Adapted from Mahou et al, 2014.
