Check it out! www.cell.com/cell-systems...cell.comSingle-cell heterogeneity in interferon induction potential is heritable and governed by variation in cell stateThayer et al. used multiple approaches to uncover why only a few cells in a population express IFN upon RNA stimulation. They found that variation in cell signaling state at the time of stimulation is... 193
