METHODS OF NON-DESTRUCTIVE NANOSTRAW INTRACELLULAR SAMPLING FOR LONGITUDINAL CELL MONITORING

摘要

Methods and apparatuses to non-destructively and periodically sample a small quantity of intracellular proteins and mRNA from the same single cell or cells for an extended period of time. Specifically, describe herein are non-perturbative methods for time-resolved, longitudinal extraction and quantitative measurement of intracellular proteins and nucleic acids from a variety of cell types using systems including nanostraws.
