ABSTRACT
Live-cell label-free imaging of a microscopic biological barrier, generally referred to as 'tight junction', was realized by a recently developed electric-double-layer modulation imaging (EDLMI). The method allowed quantitative imaging of barrier integrity in real time, thus being an upper compatible of transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) which is a conventional standard technique to evaluate spatially averaged barrier integrity. We demonstrate that the quantitative and real-time imaging capability of EDLMI unveils fundamental dynamics of biological barrier, some of which are totally different from conventional understandings.
