We introduce single-cell Proteoform imaging Mass Spectrometry (scPiMS), which realizes the benefit of direct analysis of intact proteins to process 10,836 single cells from the rat hippocampus. This new platform addresses the throughput bottleneck for single cell proteomics using mass spectrometry, boosting cell processing rates by >20-fold in the field. We identified 169 proteoforms <70 kDa from single brain cells and classified 2758 of them as neurons, astrocytes or microglia cell types.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
