A single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the human ciliary body

The ciliary body is required for the maintenance of intraocular pressure and immunity as well as vision accommodation. We report a comprehensive cell atlas of human ciliary body from single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) Overall design: Ciliary body tissues from human donor eyes were dissected and dissociated to yeild single cell suspension. ScRNAseq was performed using a BD Rhapsody system, followed by analyses of cell clusters, specific gene expression profiling and ligand-receptor pairs
