The paper identifies metastatic founder cell candidates in bone marrow that resemble preimplantation embryonic blastomeres, linking cancer metastasis to early embryonic development mechanisms.

This paper introduces a method to reconstruct human cell lineages using STR mutations and demonstrates its application on melanoma and DU145 cell lines.

The paper develops a single-cell qPCR assay to accurately quantify ERBB2 expression in disseminated cancer cells, showing it can detect expression even in HER2-negative cells.
