The activity of multiple enzymes is dysregulated in cancer, but this cannot always be measured through enzyme expression. Here, the authors develop methods to measure protease activity across the organism, tissue, and single cell scales, and identify protease dysregulation in lung cancer and its response to targeted therapy.
