Flow Cytometry News and Research

RSS

Flow cytometry is a technique for counting and examining microscopic particles suspended in a stream of fluid. It allows simultaneous multiparametric analysis of the physical and/or chemical characteristics of single cells flowing through an optical and/or electronic detection apparatus.

Prolonged T-cell response during severe COVID-19 does not contribute to long COVID

Persistent immune activation and elevated cytokine levels were observed in patients with severe COVID-19, even months after recovery. However, the correlation between immune activation and long COVID symptoms appeared to be independent, suggesting other factors influencing disease severity.

How the gut microbiome supports iron uptake by intestinal regulatory T-cells

Research paper discusses the relationship between iron deficiencies and immune tolerance in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The study shows that high cellular iron levels fostered by pentanoate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by intestinal microbiota, are necessary for the homeostasis of regulatory T cells in the intestine, and iron deficiencies in Treg can result in lethal autoimmune disease.
