Aaron J. Hand

To better understand how cancers develop, molecular biologists seek to analyze genes at the single-cell level. Lasers have played an important role in capturing individual cells, but it has been difficult to effectively isolate tumor cells from surrounding cells. Researchers at the Academic Hospital München-Harlaching use Palm's Robot-MicroBeam nitrogen laser to completely isolate individual cells for gene analysis. Researchers at the Academic Hospital München-Harlaching have come up with a method that dissects and removes selected cells of a variety of shapes and sizes. It does so...Read full article
