Cell-specific expression of lung disease risk-related genes in the human small airway epithelium

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The human small airway epithelium (SAE) plays a central role in the early events in the pathogenesis of most inherited and acquired lung disorders. Little is known about the molecular phenotypes of the specific cell populations comprising the SAE in humans, and the contribution of SAE specific cell populations to the risk for lung diseases. METHODS: Drop-seq single-cell RNA-sequencing was used to...
