  • Genomics
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Single-cell technologies have revolutionized the study of cell heterogeneity over the past 15 years.
  • Advancements include multi-omics and spatial transcriptomics, complementing established single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).
  • scRNA-seq is crucial for characterizing cell identity and uncovering cellular diversity within populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in single-cell technologies for endocrine research.
  • To highlight key findings from scRNA-seq studies on endocrine organs.
  • To examine the application of these technologies in understanding development, rare cell types, and disease mechanisms.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) as a primary method.
  • Discussion of emerging technologies like multi-omics and spatial transcriptomics.
  • Review of published literature on endocrine organs investigated using single-cell approaches.

Main Results:

  • scRNA-seq has provided significant insights into the embryonic development of endocrine organs.
  • The technique has been instrumental in identifying and characterizing rare cell types.
  • scRNA-seq has elucidated disease mechanisms in endocrine tissues.

Conclusions:

  • Single-cell technologies, particularly scRNA-seq, are indispensable for endocrine research.
