Cellular and Subcellular Analysis Using Vibrational Spectroscopy

Dear Colleagues,

Vibrational spectroscopies have emerged in the biomedical community as a powerful, label-free and information-rich family of techniques. Their biochemical sensitivity continues to improve, while the scale of spatial resolution that can be reached is now in the nanometer range. The aim of this Special Issue is to focus on developments and applications of all forms of vibrational spectroscopy in cellular research, encompassing infrared and Raman spectroscopy, microscopy and imaging, atomic force microscopy, approaches combining Raman and infrared spectroscopy, surface-enhanced spectroscopies and synchrotron-based experiments. The goal is to showcase to the readers of Cells the wide range of research activities and the increasing potential of these techniques beyond conventional cell research methods.
