Abstract:
In 2016, Patch-seq was established to analyze electrophysiology, gene expression and morphology in neuronal cells. Recently, Camunas-Soler et al. used Patch-seq to analyze the functions and gene expression profiles of individual cells in pancreatic islets. I believe this analysis is expected to contribute to the complete characterization of pancreatic islets in diabetes patients.
