Techniques: microRNA switches to isolate specific cells
Kim Baumann.
For many cell types, no specific cell-surface markers that would facilitate their isolation have been identified. In this study, Miki et al. describe a method to isolate specific cell types on the basis of their endogenous microRNA (miRNA) activity. The authors designed 'miRNA switches',
