Membrane lipids control diverse cellular processes, including cell proliferation, metabolism and apoptosis.  Perturbation of the complex signaling networks formed by lipids and their targets can contribute to diseases, like cancer, diabetes and inflammation.  Determination of lipid spatiotemporal fluctuation and dynamics is a key step towards greater understanding of lipid-mediated processes.  Unfortunately, current methods are neither quantitative nor highly specific.

Using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), a technology for near-infrared (NIR) optical sensors has been developed.
