    Abstract: This invention incorporates the use of bioimpedance measurements of intact cells to classify and characterize any unique global cellular event such as signal transduction from ligand/receptor interactions, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, tumor cell progression, or stem cell differentiation. Specifically, we have demonstrated that this invention can classify signal transduction pathways from G-protein coupled, tyrosine kinase, and nuclear receptors.
