These cells normally fight off pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and fungi, as well as tumors, but in MS they mistakenly attack the brain and spinal cord.

Advanced Imaging Technique Reveals Immune Cell Metabolic States in Blood Samples

Researchers showed how optical metabolic imaging (OMI) can be used to characterize metabolic activity within immune cells from the peripheral blood of patients, which could potentially help to improve…

  • Advanced imaging technique OMI reveals immune cell metabolic states in blood samples.
  • Optical metabolic imaging provides metabolic information beyond traditional PBMC measurements.
  • Label-free OMI technique enables nondestructive analysis of single immune cells.
