Problem links
Single-cell transcriptomics is directly relevant to resolving heterogeneous cellular states that are obscured in bulk measurements. The provided evidence also explicitly situates it within multi-omics combinations, which fits the gap's emphasis on overlapping omics layers.

Published Workflows
Objective: Integrate molecular and functional single-cell data to determine how neuronal mechanisms contribute to glioblastoma brain invasion and dissemination.
Why it works: The abstract states that superimposing molecular and functional single-cell data revealed how neuronal mechanisms govern glioblastoma invasion on multiple levels, implying that combining state definition with functional phenotyping links heterogeneity to invasive behavior.

The abstract frames it alongside spatial transcriptomics and proteomic/metabolomic profiling, implying multi-modal profiling resources are needed.; used in combination with other omics profiling modalities in the abstract framing
Independent follow-up evidence is still limited. Validation breadth across biological contexts is still narrow. Independent reuse still looks limited, so the evidence base may be fragile. No canonical validation observations are stored yet, so context-specific performance remains under-specified.
