Single-cell transcriptomics identifies gene expression networks driving differentiation and tumorigenesis in the human fallopian tube
1 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
The human fallopian tube harbors the cell of origin for the majority of high-grade serous "ovarian" cancers (HGSCs), but its cellular composition, particularly the epithelial component, is poorly characterized. We perform single-cell transcriptomic profiling of around 53,000 individual cells from 12 primary fallopian specimens to map their major cell types. We identify 10 epithelial subpopulations with diverse...
