By killing cells that line the gut of their host or that are exposed at the surface of an open wound, aerolysin helps the bacterium to feed on the released cell content and to penetrate deeper in the human body. (sciencedaily.com)
To confirm the accuracy, fidelity, and sensitivity of the method, we carried out several tests including the dilution of a pool of cDNA to levels equivalent to single cell content prior to measurement of gene expression in ten replicates. (journals.plos.org)
Fossil cell content has so far mainly been recorded for plant cells, e.g. in Eocene fruit and leaf cells [26], calcified Jurassic royal fern cells [27], Carboniferous pollen and spores [28] or Precambrian thallophytic seaweeds [29]. (rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org)
