Scientists use single cell techniques to uncover a central dichotomy for colorectal cancer cells

A team of clinician-scientists and scientists, led by the National Cancer Centre Singapore and A*STAR's Genome Institute of Singapore together with collaborators in Europe and South Korea, used single-cell techniques to uncover a central dichotomy for colorectal cancer cells, leading to a proposed update of the classification system for the disease.
