“…For example, SCG was used for the description of the parenchymal cell composition (Madissoon et al, 2020;Travaglini et al, 2019;Vieira Braga et al, 2019), the identification of novel cell types such as pulmonary ionocytes (Montoro et al, 2018;Plasschaert et al, 2018), the identification of ectopic and aberrant lung resident cell populations in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (Adams et al, 2019;Morse et al, 2019;Reyfman et al, 2019) or the investigation of the cellular contribution in lung cancer (Lambrechts et al, 2018;Lavin et al, 2017;Song et al, 2019;Zilionis et al, 2019). These studies in humans have been accompanied by SCG studies describing the cellular compositions in murine lung under homeostatic as well as stress conditions (Angelidis et al, 2019;Aran et al, 2019a;McQuattie-Pimentel et al, 2019;Schyns et al, 2019;Strunz et al, 2019), and during development (Cohen et al, 2018;Guo et al, 2019). Together, these studies illustrate the enormous breadth of SCG technologies to describe the cellular composition of the lung and identify deviations from homeostasis in diseased organ tissues.…”
