Automated high-throughput sorting of living cells using laser light and AI

Tests on living cell cultures are becoming increasingly important for personalized medicine, drug development and clinical research. The Aachen-based Fraunhofer Institutes for Laser Technology ILT and for Production Technology IPT have developed an AI-assisted high-throughput process that now makes it possible to automatically isolate specific cell types. Using a so-called LIFTOSCOPE, laboratories can localize, identify and analyze dozens of living cells per second in order to transfer them to microtiter plates with laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT).

„German researchers have developed a high-speed process that uses AI and laser technology for sorting living cells. This game-changing method, crucial for personalized medicine and drug development, automatically isolates specific cell types at remarkable speeds. The innovative tool called LIFTOSCOPE allows labs to analyze and transfer dozens of cells per second using laser-induced forward transfer method.“

Die innere Kraft entfesseln – Wie Hypnose uns tatsächlich stärker machen kann

Reine Kopfsache? Von wegen: Welchen Einfluss Hypnose auf unsere körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit hat, untersuchte Psychologin Dr. Barbara Schmidt vom Universitätsklinikum Jena in einer nun im Fachjournal „Scientific Reports“ veröffentlichten Studie. Im Ergebnis zeigte sich, dass mithilfe von Hypnose nicht nur das subjektive Stärkegefühl gesteigert werden kann, sondern auch die objektive Stärke – und das mit langanhaltender Wirkung. Dies kann sich sowohl für den Leistungssport als auch für den Genesungsprozess von Patientinnen und Patienten nutzen lassen.
