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

Main

Cell Metadata

BeamB

Ontology Term: fibroblastCL:0000057
Synonyms Terms that have the same, or nearly the same, meaning as the selected cell type.: unknown
Category Class of which the cell type is a subclass.: connective tissue cellCL:0002320
Ontology Assessment Disagreements with any aspect of the Cell Ontology.: —
Marker Gene Evidence Gene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.: TMEFF2
Canonical Marker Genes: TMEFF2
Rationale: This BeamB sub-class is annotated by the marker BMP5.

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-nucleus RNA-seq, we analyzed over 1 million cells from 70 healthy donors, identifying 9 major cell classes and 18 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
