with cell surface markers,» explains Dr. Carsten Marr, head of the Quantitative Single Cell Dynamics Research Group at the Helmholtz Zentrum München's Institute of Computational Biology (ICB).

Based on
cell surface markers known as CD4 and CD8, T

with viruses.

with age.
An inherent problem
with this approach is that the presence of specific
cell surface markers does not directly reflect the transcriptional state of a
