Project description:We profiled hematopoietic, lymphoid and peripheral fetal organs to systematically assess the heterogeneity of antigen receptors in immune cell populations across human tissues during development. Single-cell suspensions were obtained from fresh tissue. Cells were either DAPI-CD45+ or DAPI-CD45- FACS-isolated cells, or unsorted.

Project description:Using single-cell RNAseq (scRNAseq) and paired VDJ analysis, we create the first comprehensive cell atlas of the healthy developing, paediatric and adult human gut, including 347,980 cells from up to 10 distinct anatomical sites. We use this data to trace the cellular composition of the gut throughout life, define novel cell markers and cell-cell interactions. We find four neuronal cell populations in the developing enteric nervous system, with expression patterns indicative of irritable bowel syndrome and Hirschsprung’s disease, and identify key cell players and communication networks initiating lymphoid structure formation in early human development.

Project description:Primary outcome(s): this study collects data with the aim of developing a mapping algorithm for converting QOL scores obtained from profiled QOL scales into QOL values.
