Cell unroofing is any of various methods to isolate and expose the cell membrane of cells. Differently from the more common membrane extraction protocols performed with multiple steps of centrifugation (which goal is to separate the membrane fraction from a cell lysate), in cell unroofing the aim is to tear and preserve patches of the plasma membrane in order to perform in situ experiments using (microscopy and biomedical spectroscopy).
