Unraveling cell populations in tumors by single-cell mass cytometry

- Single-cell mass cytometry enables analyses of heterogeneous cell populations.
- Mass-tag cellular barcoding increases multiplexing capability and sample throughput.
- Imaging mass cytometry methods allow spatial-resolved measurements of tumor tissues.
- New computational tools help identifying cell subsets in heterogeneous populations.
- Mass cytometry can study links between cell phenotypes and tumor microenvironment.
