High-speed cell sorter rapidly isolates and quantifies cells with complex cellular phenotypes

Isolating individual cells with complex phenotypes – which is key to understanding how these cells function, including to inform disease – is a technological challenge. Now, overcoming this hurdle, researchers present a high-speed cell sorter that uses fluorescence imaging to enable genome-scale studies of complex phenotypes.

Pyroptosis is not a one-way ticket, it can be halted and controlled

A study published by researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago describes a new method for analyzing pyroptosis -; the process of cell death that is usually caused by infections and results in excess inflammation in the body -; and shows that process, long thought to be irreversible once initiated, can in fact be halted and controlled.

Researchers develop new method to detect the onset of blood damage at sublethal stage

Red blood cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes are constantly exposed to a "shearing stress" during their circulation in the body. This stress is usually mild and the RBCs are flexible enough to accommodate shape changes in response to it.
