Abstract:The quantitatively controlled organellar transfer between living single cells provides a unique experimental platform to analyze contribution of organellar heterogeneity on cellular phenotypes. We previously developed a microfluidic device which can perform quantitatively controlled mitochondrial transfer between live single cells by promoting strictured cytoplasmic connection between live single cells but its application to other organelles is unclear. In this study, we investigated quantitative properties of… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
