New Technology Enables Real-Time Imaging of Living Cancer Cells

Researchers are developing a platform that uses Raman spectroscopy and microfluidics to observe living cancer cells in real time without dyes or destructive sample preparation.

The technology, described as 'live-cell cinema,' aims to help scientists understand how cancer cells evolve and develop drug resistance, addressing limitations of static laboratory snapshots.

India reported 1.4 million new cancer cases in 2022, and experts believe such innovations could significantly accelerate drug discovery and improve personalized oncology treatments.
