A major part of my PhD is out! 🎉 In this preprint, we introduce single-molecule flow cytometry (smFC), pushing detection sensitivity 10–80× beyond conventional flow cytometry. 1/n 👉 https://t.co/7wsWbOvozl

Felix Zhou's-Segment3D is out: https://t.co/ozZoqgDFiH It leverages 2D cell segmentations from orthoviews to generate a ‘consensus’ 3D segmentation. It does a great job on segmenting densely packed samples, and we have used the algorithm in many applications.

Trying some new dyes! Was supposed to be ER specific. (Live COS7 cells labelled with two different ER probes).

I am wholly in support of this proposal. BioRxiv and its cousins are all we need, and editor-dictated peer review has wreaked untold damage on the scientific enterprise since its widespread adoption in the 60s.

We applied smFC to triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells: 📊 Found 30% of cells express low-abundance c-kit (1–200 molecules/cell). 🧬 This subpopulation was invisible to standard flow cytometry, but smFC revealed it. 5/n

With smFC we achieve: ✅ Digital precision down to ~2–3 molecules/cell ✅ 10–80× improved detection limits vs. conventional FC ✅ Quantification of membrane proteins in high throughput, single-cell detail 4/n
