Taxonomy: Technique Branch / Method. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Summary

Multicomponent, ligand-functionalized microarrays are a patterned substrate assay method for individual living cells that spatially segregates distinct ligand presentations to enable simultaneous monitoring of receptor activation and downstream signaling. The method was developed to probe clustering-dependent EphA2 signal transduction.

Usefulness & Problems
