Joern Pezoldt et al. analyze mouse spleen fibroblasts using single cell RNA sequencing, revealing 11 distinct clusters of fibroblastic cells or subtypes. Their results collectively provide further insight into the transcriptional identities of splenic fibroblasts and innate immune signatures of distinct stromal compartments.
