Abstract

The goal of regenerative medicine is to reconstitute organ functions or to replace damaged or degenerated tissue by cell therapies or tissue engineering. Within this field, the use of optical methods for imaging and manipulation of cells and tissue down to the subcellular level provides a precise and non-contact way for new therapies. This includes applications of ultrashort laser pulses for high resolution imaging as well as precise and selective cell manipulation.
