Cell Painting, a High-Content Image-based Assay for Morphological Profiling Using Multiplexed Fluorescent Dyes

Researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have published a new protocol in Nature Protocols detailing Cell Painting – a high content screening assay for evaluating about 1500 morphological features of single cells, including shape, texture, size, etc. Simple 6-color staining allows researchers to include organelle morphology in analysis, including the nucleus, mitochondria, and actin cytoskeleton. This protocol provides a powerful method for evaluating the effects of different chemicals on cells, including potential treatments for cancer. The CellProfiler analysis software is open source, so check it out!
