Scientists built a system that watches activity across nearly every cell of a living vertebrate at once; transparent zebrafish revealed body-wide signals moving between organs
- The system is called WHOLISTIC, short form for Whole Organism Live Imaging System for recording Tissue and IntraCellular activity.
- Even when an animal appears to be resting, billions of cells are sending signals, responding to changes and coordinating with organs far beyond their immediate surroundings.
- For scientists, the challenge has always been hearing enough of that conversation at once.
