The recent study from the Pogge von Strandmann group published in , by Alashkar Alhamwe ., combined for the first time the Cre-LoxP recombination system with single-cell sequencing. The group monitored the tumor-derived extracellular vesicle (EV) uptake and the EV functions in the recipient non-malignant cells in a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma mouse model. Recombination events and EV uptake, together with resulting gene expression changes in macrophages, neutrophils, and mast cells, were detected by single-cell sequencing technology of the tumor tissue. This new approach is highly specific, as it can identify single EV recipient cells without interfering with the EV biogenesis or the phenotype.

The advent of single-cell sequencing techniques has not only revolutionized the investigation of biological processes but also significantly contributed to unraveling cellular heterogeneity at unprecedented levels. Among the various methods, single-cell transcriptome sequencing stands out as the best established, and has been employed in exploring many physiological and pathological activities. The recently developed single-cell epigenetic sequencing techniques, especially chromatin accessibility sequencing, have further deepened our understanding of gene regulatory networks.

Introduction: The immune compartment within fetal chorionic villi is comprised of fetal Hofbauer cells (HBC) and invading placenta-associated maternal monocytes and macrophages (PAMM). Recent studies have characterized the transcriptional profile of the first trimester (T1) placenta; however, the phenotypic and functional diversity of chorionic villous immune cells at term (T3) remain poorly understood.
Methods: To address this knowledge gap, immune cells from human chorionic villous tissues obtained from full-term, uncomplicated pregnancies were deeply phenotyped using a combination of flow cytometry, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq, CITE-seq) and chromatin accessibility profiling (snATAC-seq).
Single-cell RNA-seq reveals immune cell heterogeneity and increased Th17 cells in human fibrotic skin diseases.

Background: Fibrotic skin disease represents a major global healthcare burden, characterized by fibroblast hyperproliferation and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix components. The immune cells are postulated to exert a pivotal role in the development of fibrotic skin disease. Single-cell RNA sequencing has been used to explore the composition and functionality of immune cells present in fibrotic skin diseases.
