Automated biophysical classification of apoptotic pancreatic cancer cell subpopulations by using machine learning approaches with impedance cytometry

Carlos Honrado et al.

Summary: Modulating cell death is crucial for treating pancreatic cancer, but distinguishing apoptotic states is challenging. In this study, machine learning methods were used to identify biophysical metrics that can differentiate early apoptotic, late apoptotic, and necrotic states, based on single-cell impedance cytometry. This automated apoptotic state classification provides insights for developing drug treatments.

Cancer-cell stiffening via cholesterol depletion enhances adoptive T-cell immunotherapy

Kewen Lei et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that cancer cells enriched in cholesterol inhibit T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity, while stiffening cancer cells through cholesterol depletion enhances T-cell cytotoxicity, thereby improving the efficacy of adoptive T-cell therapy. This enhancement is attributed to increased T-cell forces at the immunological synapse, rather than influencing other T-cell functions like receptor signaling or production of cytolytic proteins. These findings suggest a mechanical immune checkpoint that could be targeted for improving cancer immunotherapies.

Multi-frequency single cell electrical impedance measurement for label-free cell viability analysis

Jianwei Zhong et al.

Summary: This study presents a label-free impedance-based approach for cell viability assessment by characterizing multiple electrical cellular phenotypes in a high-throughput manner, introducing a concept called the complex opacity spectrum for improved discrimination of live and dead cells. The approach successfully discriminated between living and dead cells in different experimental scenarios and provides highly accurate and consistent cell viability analysis, validated by commercial fluorescence-based flow cytometry.

Single-cell microfluidic impedance cytometry: from raw signals to cell phenotypes using data analytics

Carlos Honrado et al.

Summary: Microfluidic impedance cytometry is a label-free and high-throughput method for stratifying cellular systems based on electrophysiology, with applications ranging from life science research to precision medicine. Novel chip designs and data analytic strategies are laying the foundation for multiparametric cell characterization and subpopulation distinction, essential for understanding biological function and disease progression. Emerging developments in the technique, such as device design, data analytics, and phenotyping applications, offer exciting prospects for future challenges and directions in label-free quantification and isolation of subpopulations in heterogeneous biosystems.
