Sumario:In this issue of JEM, Wang et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20191130), using a single-cell RNA-seq approach, establish an atlas of human colon, rectum, and ileum epithelial cells. Their study reveals that different regions have specialized nutrient absorption preferences, microbe defenses, and endocrine function. They also identify new markers for a variety of cell types.
