Single cell atlas of the human trabecular meshwork and ciliary body - scRNA-seq

Main

Cell Metadata

Macrophage

Ontology Term: macrophageCL:0000235
Synonyms Terms that have the same, or nearly the same, meaning as the selected cell type.: histiocyte
Category Class of which the cell type is a subclass.: mononuclear phagocyteCL:0000113
Ontology Assessment Disagreements with any aspect of the Cell Ontology.: —
Marker Gene Evidence Gene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.: C1QA, C1QB
Canonical Marker Genes: C1QA
Rationale: This Macrophage sub-class is annotated by the marker C1QA.

Set of Labels Description: This cell annotation set focuses on the trabecular meshwork (TM) and ciliary body (CB), key tissues regulating aqueous humor dynamics and intraocular pressure in the human eye. Using single-cell RNA-seq, we analyzed over 332K cells from 36 healthy donors, identifying 9 major cell classes and 19 sub-classes. As part of the Human Cell Atlas initiative, this dataset integrates transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility data and is publicly accessible via CELLxGENE and the UCSC Cell Browser, offering a valuable resource for understanding ocular physiology and disease mechanisms.
Annotation Method: manual
