Using Flow Cytometry to Test Platelet Function in Neonates

While thrombocytopenia and bleeding are events that often occur together in neonates, this may not signify cause and effect. Despite this, platelet counts are regarded as a reliable marker to determine the need for platelet transfusion. In this case study, scientists used flow cytometry as a means of determining platelet function in neonates.

			Using Imaging Flow Cytometry to Monitor Viral-host Interactions In this case study, researchers developed an imaging flow cytometry protocol to provide a high-throughput, robust method for studying virus−host interactions.

			Flow cytometry for microbial bioreactor viability analysis A 4 °C storage is optimal for denitrification biofilms and flow cytometry minimizes the death of cells inside the biofilm.

	Seeing Individual Immune Cell Microenvironments Identifying the morphology of individual cells is not enough, researchers need to see the individual immune cell microenvironments.In addition to the identification and characterization of individual cell morphology, a more complex phenotypic profile will include the cell’s activation state and role within the tissue microenvironment.

	Quantification and Detection of Phospholipids Phospholipids are key components of the bilayers of all plasma membranes. For example, Phosphatidylethanolamine is responsible for membrane stabilization, membrane fission/fusion, and is involved in the secretion of very-low-density lipoproteins, while Cardiolipin makes up around 20% of mitochondria total lipid composition.

	Using Flow Cytometry to Look at Paracrine Signaling The latest flow cytometry (FC) methods are highly suitable for the analysis of different EV populations.

	Extracellular Vesicles as Floating Cancer Biomarkers Tumors release extracellular vesicles (EV) into the bloodstream that could serve as biomarkers and aid characterization.

	Assay for Monitoring and Treating Malignant Brain Tumors Researchers have developed a robust assay for monitoring disease status, treatment response and tumor progression in glioma.
