Undoubtedly, microfluidics has opened many new windows of opportunities for single-cell analysis. Droplet microfluidics, for example, has shown great promises for encapsulation, manipulation, and incubation of single-cells within nL-pL droplets at very high throughputs. As the field grows more and more methods get developed providing...
It was only less than 100 years ago that Sir Hans Adolf Krebs measured the metabolism rate of muscle cells by exposing fresh pigeon breast meat to different reagents to discover the Krebs cycle (also known as citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle or...
Cell-state change is referred to as a process in which the cell undergoes a change in its state and can range from stem cell differentiation to a change in drug-tolerance. For example, a cancer cell initially prone to inhibitors can develop into a drug-resistant mode....
microRNA abbreviated as miRNA is a non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs do not translate into proteins and are mainly responsible for regulatory affairs in the cells. The “micro” prefix stems from their short length. The miRNAs normally span from 18 to 28 nucleotides. So, miRNA is...
