TLDR
Various detection targets applied in single cell study, including tumor tissue cells, circulating tumor cells, disseminated tumor cells (DTCs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), cell-free DNA (cfDNA), and cancer stem cells (CSCs), are listed and detection methods using these detection targets in different fields to reveal single cell heterogeneity in cancer are discussed.

Single-cell sequencing and tumorigenesis: improved understanding of tumor evolution and metastasis.

TL;DR: Current methodologies and recent technological advances for isolating single cells, single-cell whole-genome and whole-transcriptome amplification using minute amounts of nucleic acids, and SCS are highlighted and the promise for integrating SCS in the clinical care arena for improved patient care is discussed.

Modeling the process of human tumorigenesis.

TL;DR: In this review, the advantages, contributions and limitations of current de novo human tumorigenesis strategies are surveyed and several exciting prospects on the horizon are noted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumorigenesis as a process of gradual loss of original cell identity and gain of properties of neural precursor/progenitor cells.

TL;DR: Synthesis of the information strongly supports that cancer cells share much more similarities with neural progenitor/stem cells than with mesenchymal-type cells and that tumorigenesis represents a process of gradual loss of cell or lineage identity and gain of characteristics of neural cells.

Tumour evolution inferred by single-cell sequencing

TL;DR: It is shown that with flow-sorted nuclei, whole genome amplification and next generation sequencing the authors can accurately quantify genomic copy number within an individual nucleus and indicate that tumours grow by punctuated clonal expansions with few persistent intermediates.

Non-genetic origins of cell-to-cell variability in TRAIL-induced apoptosis

TL;DR: It is shown that naturally occurring differences in the levels or states of proteins regulating receptor-mediated apoptosis are the primary causes of cell-to-cell variability in the timing and probability of death in human cell lines.

Clonal evolution in breast cancer revealed by single nucleus genome sequencing

TL;DR: The data show that aneuploid rearrangements occurred early in tumour evolution and remained highly stable as the tumour masses clonally expanded, which has important implications for the diagnosis, therapeutic treatment and evolution of chemoresistance in breast cancer.
