New Method Allows Repeated Genetic Data Extraction From Living Cells Without Destruction

Researchers have developed a new method for repeatedly obtaining genetic information from living cells without destroying them. This breakthrough, achieved by a team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Helmholtz Munich, allows scientists to observe genetic processes in cells over extended periods. The new method promises to improve the monitoring of stem cells for therapies and the effects of drugs within cells.

Previously, studying genetic processes in cells necessitated their destruction, which prevented long-term observation. The new method overcomes this limitation, enabling scientists to gather up-to-date genetic information from the same living cells multiple times. This capability is expected to be particularly beneficial in monitoring stem cells used in therapies, as well as in assessing how drugs affect cells over time.
