New insights on eosinophils fill gaps in single cell atlases
Eosinophils are a type of white blood cells involved in the control of intestinal inflammation. Yet, eosinophils have been difficult to study and so far have remained invisible to single-cell transcriptomics, a tool used to construct tissue atlases in health and disease. A Nature study co-led by Costanza Borrelli from the Moor lab and colleagues at the University of Zurich, now provides novel insights into the biology of this cell type.
