Abstract Polymorphonuclear lymphocytes (PMNs) are terminally differentiated phagocytes with pivotal roles in infection, inflammation, tissue injury, and resolution. PMNs can display a breadth of responses to diverse endogenous and exogenous stimuli, making understanding of these innate immune responders vital yet challenging to achieve.

Abstract Sample multiplexing in flow cytometry is a powerful technique which allows for reduction of error, inclusion of control samples for batch effect correction, and reduction in both time and consumable usage. Current industry standard for barcoding in mass cytometry is an intracellular reagent, which requires fixation and permeabilization of sample prior to barcoding. We developed a barcode using the ubiquitous and well-tolerated membrane labeling lectin, wheat germ agglutinin.

The take An attempt to articulate just how vast and magnificent the scope of Akira Kurosawa’s 乱 (Ran) is will inevitably fall short. Recognized as a master of epics, including his 七人の侍 (Seven Samurai, 1954), Kurosawa reimagines Shakespeare’s tragic King Lear set in medieval Japan.
