“…The mentioned studies contribute to uncovering responsible transcriptional regulation or signaling pathways related to disease processes and stress factors. Furthermore, the present state of environmental pollution not only heightens the risk of diseases but also functions as a persistent stressor, impacting both our well-being and the planet [ 113 , 114 ]. In future, scRNA-seq should be extended to investigate various diseases and stress factors (environmental and others) for enhanced understanding.…”

Single-cell techniques are a promising way to unravel the complexity and heterogeneity of transcripts at the cellular level and to reveal the composition of different cell types and functions in a tissue or organ. In recent years, advances in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) have further changed our view of biological systems. The application of scRNA-seq in insects enables the comprehensive characterization of both common and rare cell types and cell states, the discovery of new cell types, and revealing how cell types relate to each other. The recent application of scRNA-seq techniques to insect tissues has led to a number of exciting discoveries. Here we provide an overview of scRNA-seq and its application in insect research, focusing on biological applications, current challenges, and future opportunities to make new discoveries with scRNA-seq in insects.
