Abstract excerpt
Macrophages are key cells in the immune inflammatory response that can be differentiated into M1 and M2 phenotypes. Polarization has a critical therapeutic value, especially in diseases in which an M1/M2 imbalance plays a pathophysiological role. Raman spectroscopy has proven to be a promising bioanalytical technique for discriminating different cell types. However, to our knowledge, its application to identify...
