Hey guys, I came across this method to detect death in cells in vitro. It is a very fast and sensitive test. You can check it out in detail through the link:

I was curious, why is this useful? Who wants to detect dead cells?!

I have not clicked on the link, but live-dead deteaction using stains is pretty much standard practice to estimate e.g. culture quality and is also used in a number of other assays.
