Congratulations @rupsa Datta for her new paper that unravels neutrophil metabolism on a single-cell level 🎉 She showed early metabolic changes (<15 minutes) with stimulation and used machine learning to identify activation states.

"Neutrophils have been understudied, and our specific technique is underused — most people don't know about it yet. But our lab loves collaborating. It's exciting to share our technology with so many different branches of research." @rupsa @melissa_skala https://t.co/N9aN3934qf
