Scientists at the Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) have developed micrometer-sized "liquid marbles" that can encapsulate single to several living cells, thereby aiding single-cell studies. To analyze individual cells, the desired number of cells must be isolated spatially. This often requires extensive training and use of expensive laboratory equipment. MANA scientists have recently overcome … Continued
