Abstract

In this thesis, time-lapse fluorescent microscopy plays a pivotal role in investigating functional materials within living cells as well as the migratory behaviour of neural progenitor cells. The first part of the thesis focuses on two different functional nanomaterials (Ag-DNA and polymersomes), whereas the second part explores fluorescent labeling of neural progenitor cells and their cell dynamics within different in vitro systems.
