The tonsils are a set of lymphoid organs facing into the aerodigestive tract, which is known as Waldeyer's tonsillar ring and consists of the adenoid tonsil (or pharyngeal tonsil), two tubal tonsils, two palatine tonsils, and the lingual tonsils. These organs play an important role in the immune system.
Here, we present a comprehensive census of cell types forming the human tonsil by applying single-cell transcriptome, epigenome, proteome and adaptive immune repertoire sequencing as well as spatial transcriptomics, resulting in an atlas of >357,000 cells.
19 gru 2022 · The tonsils are collections of lymphatic tissue located within the pharynx. They collectively form a ringed arrangement, known as Waldeyer’s ring: Pharyngeal tonsil, Tubal tonsils (x2), Palatine tonsils, (x2) Lingual tonsil.
2 lut 2024 · We generated an atlas of the human tonsil composed of >556,000 cells profiled across five different data modalities, including single-cell transcriptome, epigenome, proteome, and immune repertoire sequencing, as well as spatial transcriptomics.
Tonsils are large non-encapsulated (or partially encapsulated) masses of lymphoid tissue, that lie in the walls of the pharynx and nasopharynx and at the base of the tongue. The luminal surface of the tonsils are covered with a stratified squamous epithelium (in common with the oral epithelia).
