Multiparametric imaging platform for profiling lipid trafficking in human leukocytes

Researchers from the University of Helsinki report a new imaging-based platform for quantification of lipid uptake, storage, and removal in primary lymphocytes. The study platform was tested by using both cells from patients diagnosed by hypercholesterolemia and primary cells from the population cohort stored in THL Biobank. This new imaging-based analysis may improve understanding of etiology of lipid diseases, disease risk assessment, and personalized patient classification.
