Comparison of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived macrophages with peripheral blood-derived macrophages using single-cell genomics by ZHANG Yutong, HOU Guojun, SHEN Nan

“…When comparing the expression of macrophage markers, both IPSDMs and PBDMs highly expressed the classical macrophage marker CD68 gene, while IPSDMs exhibited higher expression of markers associated with tissue-resident macrophages. GO analysis of DEGs showed enrichment in the molecular functions such as ubiquitin-like protein ligase binding, cellular components such as the nuclear speck and nuclear envelope, and biological processes such as the regulation of translation. …”
