New Imaging Platform Maps Cell Type and Metabolic Activity Simultaneously
Cells of the same type adopt different metabolic states depending on where exactly they sit in the tissue. Put another way, the metabolic activity of any one cell in a tissue sample cannot be inferred based only on what cell type it is. This is one of the insights made possible thanks to a new imaging platform developed by a cross-disciplinary research team led by bioengineers at the UC San Diego. Full Story
