Targeted Multi-Omics analysis and high-dimensional flow cytometry to measure protein expression and low-abundance transcripts at the single-cell level.
Scientific PublicationIn this article published in Cell Reports, Mair et. al report a study on the use of targeted Multi-Omics to study immune-cell heterogeneity at a low sequencing depth. Working with sorted pan CD45+ live cells derived from cryopreserved PBMCs, the authors used a high-throughput (>104 single cells) approach in which they captured the cells in […]

Immunological history governs human stem cell memory CD4 heterogeneity via the Wnt signaling pathway
Scientific PublicationLong term immunoprotection or naturally acquired immunity is conferred by memory T cells and is initiated either upon the first exposure to a pathogen or vaccination. The maintenance of this immunological memory for long durations requires the preservation of T cell stemness and the ability of memory T cell compartments to alternate between an active […]
