Single cell analysis

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The single cell analysis ( English single cell analysis , SCA) referred to in the biochemistry , cell biology , and medicine , the examination of individual cells from or in tissues . Characteristic for the methods used is a comparatively high sensitivity (low detection limit ) or the observation of individual cells in microscopy and flow cytometry .

principle

The tissues of organisms contain different types of cells , some of which are only found in small numbers, e.g. B. some stem cells or metastases in the case of tumor diseases . Single cell analysis is used in microscopy, among other things, to study apoptosis , cell migration , cell division and cell proliferation in a single clone . The patch clamp technique and the lab-on-a-chip are used to study the electrophysiology of individual cells such as neurons . Methods with a low detection limit in the analysis of individual cells are e.g. B. DNA sequencing (partially with genome amplification ), RT-PCR , and mass spectrometry .

The DNA and RNA sequencing of individual cells was named method of the year 2013 by the journal Nature Methods .
