Minute differences between cells matter and its detection could largely improve medical tests and treatments. The very obvious common characteristics can easily obscure the difference. Scientists derive information from the collective activity of millions of biological cells but a better understanding of uniqueness can produce far more beneficial results.
Single-cell biology will surely bring to focus numerous possibilities as well as limitations. Studies done are on its very early stages. This is why it appears that the project is moving on very small steps. It is hoped that the future holds a promise for an analyzer that has precise sensitivity for the better use of man. |
