Cell Discovery
Large-scale single cell sequencing uncovers the epididymis cell atlas and mitochondria segmental-speicific distribution
The present study has revealed the cell atlas of mouse epididymis during two key development ages and found novel markers for the subpopulation of principal cells with the stereocilia. More importantly, our results discovered the high content of mitochondria in the the corpus and cauda epididymis.
