Diversity and convergence within peripheral glia development

Abstract

In a recent study, Tasdemir-Yilmaz and colleagues used single-cell RNA sequencing to reveal how diversity among peripheral glia changes with development and also identified unifying genetic profiles that are shared between mature glia. These data highlight new tools and pathways in which to understand peripheral glial development and function.
