Omics technologies

Genomics: Advancements in genomics have revolutionized our understanding of the genetic basis of immune responses. The manuscript explores how genomics is contributing to the identification of genetic factors influencing susceptibility to immune-related disorders and guiding personalized treatment strategies.

Transcriptomics: Transcriptomic technologies, including RNA sequencing, offer insights into gene expression profiles in immune cells. The review discusses how transcriptomics is advancing our understanding of immune responses, uncovering novel biomarkers, and aiding in the development of targeted therapies.

Proteomics: Proteomics technologies enable the comprehensive analysis of proteins, providing a deeper understanding of immune signaling pathways and protein interactions. The manuscript explores the applications of proteomics in characterizing immune cell function and identifying therapeutic targets.

Metabolomics: Metabolomics offers a holistic view of the metabolic changes associated with immune responses. The review discusses how metabolomics is contributing to our understanding of immune cell metabolism and its implications for immune-related diseases.

High-resolution imaging

Multiparametric flow cytometry: Multiparametric flow cytometry allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple parameters at the single-cell level. The manuscript explores how this technology is enhancing the characterization of immune cell subsets and their functional states.

Mass Cytometry (CyTOF): Mass cytometry, or CyTOF, combines the advantages of flow cytometry with mass spectrometry, allowing for the analysis of an extensive panel of markers. The review discusses the applications of CyTOF in dissecting complex immune cell populations and identifying immune signatures.

Advanced imaging modalities: Emerging imaging modalities, such as super-resolution microscopy and intravital imaging, provide unprecedented insights into immune cell dynamics and interactions. The manuscript explores how these technologies are advancing our understanding of immune responses in real-time.
