Helping flow cytometry communities grow

Ecological Stability Properties of Microbial Communities Assessed by Flow Cytometry

Natural microbial communities affect human life in countless ways, ranging from global biogeochemical cycles to the treatment of wastewater and health via the human microbiome. In order to probe, monitor, and eventually control these communities, fast detection and evaluation methods are required. In order to facilitate rapid community analysis and monitor a community's dynamic behavior with hi...

Grow with the flow

The vascular tissues of plants are organized as strands of aligned cells in all the main organs. They differentiate from narrow, interconnected provascular cells, which are visible in the early leaf primordia of Arabidopsis thaliana in the top left panel. Plant hormones in the auxin class can induce the formation of additional vascular strands. Because auxins are produced in young leaves and th...

Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometry is a technology that has impacted both basic cell biology and clinical medicine in a very significant manner. The essential principle of flow cytometry is that single particles suspended within a stream of liquid are interrogated individually in a very short time as they pass through a light source focused at a very small region. The optical signals generated are mostly spectral ...

Flow Cytometry

Because it has been difficult to identify and separate malignant cells in human lymphoid malignancies, we have developed a flow cytometry-based fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique using immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain variable region (V H) gene probes. After obtaining the specific V H gene sequence expressed by the multiple myeloma IM-9 cell line and the malignant cells in five m...
