Single-cell mass spectrometry comparing metabolites in left and right cells in the 8-cell Xenopus laevis embryo

Onjiko et al. used single-cell mass spectrometry to compare left and right cells in the 8-cell Xenopus laevis embryo.

Of hundreds of different metabolites detected, 10 were found to be asymmetrically accumulated between the left and right cells.

Featured article in the journal, Analyst.
