Single-cell sequencing (sc-Seq) has changed the face of biology by allowing researchers to investigate samples at a single-cell resolution. LAM cells can be found in the blood of LAM patients even during the early stages of the disease, indicating that the blood could provide a strong biomarker for LAM diagnosis.
