Single Cell: 15 years of advancement
Single-cell analysis examines the molecular characteristics of individual cells, offering deep insights into cell function, diversity, and behavior. Since the first single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) study 15 years ago, the field has advanced significantly. With approximately 37.2 trillion cells in the human body, each having a unique transcriptome despite identical genetic makeup, this research is crucial for understanding biological complexity and cellular heterogeneity. [1]
Key techniques include flow cytometry, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and mass spectrometry, which support applications in cancer research, immunology, neurology, stem cell studies, and personalized medicine. High-throughput isolation methods, such as droplet microfluidic platforms, enable precise encapsulation of numerous cells into individual reaction chambers, enhanced by liquid-handling robotics. These innovations drive the progress and applications of single-cell analysis in healthcare and biotechnology. [2][3]
