Flow cytometry unlocks secrets of the gut-immune connection

Professor Gianluca Matteoli from KU Leuven's Lab of Mucosal Immunology (Translational Research Center for Gastrointestinal Disorders - TARGID) discusses the interplay between immune cells, gut homeostasis, and potential new therapies for conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and food allergies. Explore groundbreaking research on gut immune system regulation and chronic inflammatory diseases, and learn how advanced flow cytometry and patient-derived cells are driving this translational research.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays.
