Abstract |
The pancreas is a complex organ composed of an endocrine (pancreatic islets) and an exocrine portion. This mixed cell population has resulted in an implacable barrier to exploring the detailed mechanism and function of each cell type in previous investigative approaches. In recent years, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies have provided in-depth analysis of cell heterogeneity in the pancreas and in pancreatic cancer. It is especially effective in cell-type-specific molecule identification and detection of interactions between cancer cells and the stromal microenvironment. To date, numerous reports have described the application of scRNA-seq in studies of pancreatic islets and pancreatic cancer. The aim of this paper is to review recent advances of pancreatic transcriptomics and pancreatic cancer using scRNA-seq strategies. |
