In biomedicine, sorting cells accurately without damaging them remains a persistent problem. Current methods, like fluorescence-activated cell sorting, rely on labeling the cells extrinsically, which can stress the cells, alter their behavior and even interfere with the assay. A collaborative study between researchers in Singapore and China has now developed a noninvasive, label-free method to sort cells.
New Noninvasive Method for Cell Sorting Developed by Researchers
Researchers from Singapore and China have developed a noninvasive, label-free method to sort cells based on their electrical signatures, addressing the limitations of current cell sorting techniques. This advancement could have implications for biomedical research and healthcare technologies in Iran, enhancing the country's capabilities in medical research and treatment.
