3D and Intravital Imaging in Development and Beyond
 Topics of interest include:
• Optical Imaging techniques that reveal the 3 dimensional structure
• Studies utilizing high resolution optical imaging of 3D cultures
• Studies utilizing whole mount optical imaging
• Computational techniques for 3D reconstruction, extracting spatial or temporal dynamics from 3 dimensional imaging data
• Novel techniques for intravital imaging
• Intravital imaging windows
 
While conventional optical imaging tools like 2D in vitro assays offer the ability to tightly and reproducibly control experimental conditions, they do not adequately reflect the topography or diversity of environments encountered by cells in vivo. 3D and intravital imaging can remove these restrictions and restore the heterogeneity of environments present in the living organism. For example, 3D organoid cultures free cells from the culture dish’s two dimensional confines revealing more physiologically relevant motility and extracellular matrix interactions; whole mount imaging preserves the structural integrity and spatial arrangement of the living organism; and intravital imaging further restores multiple host cell interactions, connection to lymphatic and vascular circuits and regulatory signals from distant organs. These increasingly more physiological environs come at the price of greatly increased challenges for the design of experiments and extraction of interpretable information from them. This session is intended to be a forum for highlighting new developments and techniques in the art and science of 3D and intravital imaging as well as what can be learned from their application to areas ranging from development to pathology.
