Single cell cytometry can be successfully used to study the effects of RNAi in a mixed population of adherent cells, and to discern variations in function between individual cells within those cell cultures.
BMC Cell Biology 2008, 9 :37
Three RNA-binding oncoproteins, FUS, EWS and TAF15, show cell-type-specific expression that contradicts a previously proposed housekeeping role, with targeting to stress granules suggesting a function for them in translational regulation during stress response.
