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
