    A Transcriptional Cross Species Map of Pancreatic Islet Cells

    Researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to profile more than 50,000 endocrine cells isolated from healthy human, pig, and mouse pancreatic islets and characterized transcriptional heterogeneity and evolutionary conservation of those cells across the three species.
