Cover Story: The heterogeneity of cancer cells plays a key role in chemotherapy resistance and cancer recurrence. Therefore, for effective treatment, cancer cells need to be analyzed at the single-cell level. We propose a microfluidic chip for a single-cell proteomics assay that can analyze complex cellular signaling systems to reveal the heterogeneity of cancer cells. View this paper
