Summary:
Scientists have captured the most information yet about proteins within a single human cell, giving scientists one of their clearest looks yet at the molecular happenings inside a human cell. The team detected on average more than 650 proteins in each cell -- many times more than conventional techniques capture from single cells.

"We can identify more proteins in one cell than could previously be identified from a group of hundreds of cells."

That's important for a couple of reasons. Some proteins exert immense influence within a cell, perhaps determining whether the cell will live, die, mutate or travel to another part of the body, even when they are at very low levels that are undetectable using today's methods.”

@Jackb23 - Seems like a lot of new advances in science related to proteins are happening. If you have not seen this thread re the advancement in mapping of human proteins, you might also find it intersting.
