Deep proteomic profiling of rare cell populations has been constrained by sample input requirements. Here, we present DROPPS, an accessible low-input platform that generates high-fidelity proteomic profiles of 100 - 2,500 cells. By applying DROPPS within the mammary epithelium, we elucidated the connection between mitochondrial activity and clonogenicity, discovering and validating CD36 as a marker of progenitor capacity in the basal cell compartment. We anticipate DROPPS will accelerate biology-driven proteomic research for a multitude of rare cell populations.

"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.
