Application of single cell sequencing technology in the cell analysis of cerebrospinal fluid / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

The analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) facilitates the diagnosis and therapy of central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Compared to traditional methods, single-cell sequencing is conducive to analyze the cells composition and heterogeneity and discover scarce cells in CSF. Recent studies of single-cell sequencing in CSF has mainly focused on the neuroinfectious diseases, neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases, and leptomeningeal metastases (LM), reflecting the superiority and clinical value of single-cell sequencing in CNS diseases and providing new directions for the diagnosis and treatment of CNS diseases.
