Combining machine learning with fluorescence imaging provides new insight in glycolysis and might help with development of new therapies for cancer 

High-resolution images of human metabolism have been caught on camera for the first time thanks to a new technique that can track glucose metabolism in a single cell. Tracking glucose could provide insights and even new therapies to treat cancer – a disease which often disrupts cellular metabolism.
