<i>Ex uno, plures</i>–From One Tissue to Many Cells: A Review of Single-Cell Transcriptomics in Cardiovascular Biology

Recent technological advances have revolutionized the study of tissue biology and garnered a greater appreciation for tissue complexity. In order to understand cardiac development, heart tissue homeostasis, and the effects of stress and injury on the cardiovascular system, it is essential to charact...

In order to understand cardiac development, heart tissue homeostasis, and the effects of stress and injury on the cardiovascular system, it is essential to characterize the heart at high cellular resolution.
