Novel droplet-microfluidic solutions for single-cell multiomics. KU Leuven
In the past decades, scientists have studied the genetics of tissues
and organs by taking a tissue sample, breaking all the cells open and
analysing the resulting mix. This approach leads to an averaged-out
signal from all cells in the sample, causing rare cell types to go
unnoticed. Today, it has become more and more evident that these
lost rare cells can play a key role in organ functioning, disease ...
