Scientists from Japan develop advanced imaging technique to measure oxygenation in live mouse bone

Caption

Scientists from Doshisha University have used two-photon phosphorescence lifetime imaging microscopy to measure oxygen concentration within osteoclasts of live mice. Through live oxygen measurements, they have further identified a novel response through oxygen-mediated DNA methylation to elicit osteoclastogenesis.
