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.

Two distinct subtypes of insulin-producing beta cells identified

A team led by Van Andel Institute and Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics scientists has identified two distinct subtypes of insulin-producing beta cells, or ß cells, each with crucial characteristics that may be leveraged to better understand and treat Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

New technology can rapidly analyze the metabolic state of lipids in cells

Professor Itaru Hamachi, Lecturer Tomonori Tamura, and Assistant Professor Masaki Tsuchiya of Kyoto University have developed a new technology called O-ClickFC (Organelle-selective click labeling with flow cytometry), which can, at a very high speed, analyze the metabolic state of lipids in cells.

New encoding strategy for single-cell tomograms streamlines data handling and storage

Single-cell analysis is a powerful biomedical technique used in various fields of biology and medicine to identify rare cell populations, track cell development and differentiation, understand disease mechanisms and develop personalized therapies, but it generates large amounts of data that can be difficult to manage.

Tetravalent COVID vaccine provides broad antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2 variants in animal model

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers in Italy and the United States evaluated the efficacy and immunogenicity of an adjuvanted tetravalent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) protein subunit 1 (S1) COVID-19 vaccine.

Prior COVID and vaccination generate superior hybrid immunity

In a recent article published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, researchers in France performed a long-term longitudinal analysis to demonstrate the benefits of hybrid immunity to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), i.e., induced by viral infection followed by vaccination.

Study highlights the role of intestinal T cells in modifying psychological stress responses

In experiments with mice and humans, a team led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers says it has identified a particular intestinal immune cell that impacts the gut microbiome, which in turn may affect brain functions linked to stress-induced disorders such as depression.
