Abstract
Disclosed are methods, systems, and apparatuses for rapidly detecting a cellular interaction, such as ligand:receptor interactions. For example, the disclosed methods and systems can be used to detect a cellular interaction within 15 minutes to 75 minutes. This allows cells to be used as biosensors to detect cell activating agents in a sample.
