The paper identifies stem cell marker-positive subpopulations in the mouse larynx using scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics, revealing new insights into laryngeal tissue composition and stem cell biology.

This study shows that EBF1 is crucial for inner ear development, regulating cochlear structure and cell numbers, and is necessary for normal hearing function.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to study fate conversion of supporting cells to hair cells in chick auditory epithelium, identifying a stepwise process involving precursor states and TGFβ signaling.
