Multiplexed mass cytometry profiling of cellular states perturbed by small-molecule regulators
Mass cytometry can measure up to 34 markers on cells, but samples cannot be multiplexed. Bodenmiller et al. use metal ion tags to facilitate multiplexed mass cytometry analysis of human blood cell samples treated with 27 kinase inhibitors and 12 stimuli across a range of dosages and time points.

SIRPA is a specific cell-surface marker for isolating cardiomyocytes derived from human pluripotent stem cells
Cardiomyocytes generated from human pluripotent stem cells have many potential applications in drug screening, disease modeling and cell therapy. Dubois et al. describe a cell-surface marker that allows the isolation of highly enriched populations of cardiomyocytes from differentiation cultures.

Cultured cambial meristematic cells as a source of plant natural products
The culture of dedifferentiated plant cells to produce commercially important chemicals has met with limited success. Lee et al. demonstrate the potential of innately undifferentiated cells from Taxus cuspidata as an industrial source of the anticancer drug paclitaxel.

Substrate elasticity provides mechanical signals for the expansion of hemopoietic stem and progenitor cells
Biomechanical forces may be an effective approach for controlling the behavior of stem cells in vitro. Holst et al. show that the elasticity of a tropoelastin matrix expands hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.
