FEAST: A flow cytometry-based toolkit for interrogating microglial engulfment of synaptic and myelin proteins

Abstract Although engulfment is a hallmark of microglia function, fully validated platforms that facilitate high-throughput quantification of this process are lacking.Here, we present FEAST (Flow cytometric Engulfment Assay French Fry Racks for Specific Target proteins), which enables interrogation of in vivo engulfment of synaptic material by brai

Noninvasive fetal genotyping of single nucleotide variants and linkage analysis for prenatal diagnosis of monogenic disorders

Abstract Background High-cost, time-consuming and complex processes of several current approaches limit the use of noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) for monogenic disorders in clinical application.Thus, a more cost-effective and easily implementable approach is required.Methods We established a low-cost and convenient test to noninvasively dedu
