Abstract:
Cell heterogeneity is a crucial parameter for understanding the complexity of numerous biomedical issues. Trajectory inference-based approaches are recent tools developed for single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) data analysis. They aim to reconstruct evolving pathways from the variety of cell states that coexist simultaneously in a cell population. We propose to expand this concept to Raman spectroscopy, a label-free modality that probes the global molecular nature of a sample, by investigating the dynamics of adipocyte differentiation.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
