Temporal information proves essential when analyzing stem cells.

Caption

A new study revealed that cellular kinetics, observable over a period of time rather than in a single snapshot, holds important information about long-term cellular quality and stemness. The proposed approach for capturing and analyzing this temporal information can prove useful in regenerative medicine and gene therapy.
