Abstract

Two-photon fluorescence lifetime microscopy (2P-FLIM) is a non-invasive optical technique that can obtain cellular metabolism information based on the intrinsic autofluorescence lifetimes of free and enzyme-bound NAD(P)H, which reflect the metabolic state of single cells within the native microenvironment of the living tissue. NAD(P)H 2P-FLIM was initially performed in bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) cultures established from Col (I) 2.3GFP or OSX-mCherry mouse models, in which osteoblastic lineage cells were labelled with green or red fluorescence protein, respectively. Measurement of the mean NAD(P)H lifetime, τ
