Single-Cell Analysis – News and Features

SPLiT-seq is a new technology that can separate thousands of cells using innovative barcoding technology.

Researchers have used sequencing technology and computational power in the race to harness the power of stem cells for brain repair.

Using artificial intelligence and bioinformatics, researchers can create a two-dimensional mapping that can read test results, creating an Instagram of millions of blood cells. "It's an easy way to look at a complex response such as one you would find during immunotherapy."

A new technique takes advantage of single-cell sequencing to guide and filter the vast amount of data which is produced by genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

A 3-D printed, $600 microfluidic controller has been used to characterize fibroblasts in rheumatoid arthritis.

Portable, low-cost microfluidic device brings single-cell technology to the bedside; identifies cells that may prove to be important drug targets.

One of the biggest obstacles to eradicating malaria is a dormant form of the parasite which is resistant to most antimalarial drugs and can reawaken years later, causing disease relapse. Researchers have shown they can grow the dormant parasite in engineered human liver tissue for several weeks, allowing them to closely study how the parasite becomes dormant, what vulnerabilities it may have, and how it springs back to life.

Researchers use a handful of cutting-edge lab technologies to decode the distinctions that lead to specialization in motor control for the two sets of limbs.

The genes and structure of the diverse web of cells that supplies blood to the brain have been mapped in unprecedented detail.

Sphere Fluidics, a company providing single cell analysis systems underpinned by its patented picodroplet technology, has announced the expansion of its international commercial operations.
