Clinical applications of slide-based cytometry--an update.
Slide-based cytometric approaches open the possibility to obtain quantitative and objective data from specimens that so far have not been accessible to this kind of analysis. In this review, we will highlight the specific advantages of slide-based cytometry (SBC) and show the applications that have been established for clinical samples. Focuses are cytomic analyses of oncological and hematological samples where the slide-based concept turned out to open new dimensions in understanding underlying cellular networks. We review the recent literature and point out future applications.
