Can ultrasound detect gene expression in single cells? Congratulations to Danny, Avinoam, Arash, Shirin, Bill and Audrey on developing BURST – a new ultrasensitive imaging method that takes advantage of the unique properties of gas vesicle reporter genes to greatly improve the sensitivity of cellular ultrasound and enable the detection of individual cells.
