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

  When and how microglia engulf synapses and myelin is still unclear. Here, the authors provide a suite of flow cytometry-based approaches to quantify engulfment, paving the way for high-throughput assessment of microglial function in health and disease.

  A magneto-activated nanoscale cytometry platform for molecular profiling of small extracellular vesicles

  Exosomal PD-L1 (exoPD-L1) is a biomarker predicting immunotherapeutic responses. Here the authors report NanoEPIC, a nanoscale cytometry platform that enables phenotypic sorting and exoPD-L1 profiling from blood plasma by using magnetic-activated ranking to differentiate exosomal subpopulations.
