Abstract

Cell health and cell network patency dictate human physical and mental health throughout life. Cutting edge multiscale imaging and mapping of cell to organ structure and function is unravelling the remarkable plasticity of cellular networks, from bone to brain. Insights from these studies will enable the development of next generation implants to replace, repair and reprogram cellular networks, for promotion of mental and physical health.
