An application of spatial statistics to live cell imaging data
Jack HywoodDorevitch Pathology
The striking phenomenon of collective motion is important in many biological systems. It underlies processes in developmental biology and the immune system, where cells must quickly localize at specific locations. Live cell imaging is increasingly being used to probe the mechanisms behind these processes, capturing cell movements in real time. We present here an example of a novel combination of spatial statistics and functional data analysis in the analysis of live cell imaging. We demonstrate how these methods can be used to measure cell aggregation, applying these methods to an experiment of T cells engaging a tumouroid.
