Abstract

Tumours comprise a heterogeneous collection of cells with distinct genetic and phenotypic properties that can differentially promote progression, metastasis and drug resistance. Emerging single-cell technologies provide a new opportunity to profile individual cells within tumours and investigate what roles they play in these processes. This Review discusses key technological considerations for single-cell studies in cancer, new findings using single-cell technologies and critical open questions for future applications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
