Recent advances in fate mapping and single-cell technologies have revealed how the dynamics and function of tissue-resident macrophages are shaped by their environment. However, macrophages in sensory organs such as the cochlea where the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system meet remain understudied. Combining single-cell transcriptomics, fate mapping, and parabiosis experiments, we show that five types of myeloid cells including three tissue-resident macrophage subpopulations, coexist in the mouse cochlea. The three macrophage subsets showed different potential functions in relationship with their specific topography across cochlear compartments. Further analysis revealed that they were partially derived from yolk sac progenitors during development, while in adulthood, most cochlear macrophages were long-term resident. Finally, we showed that cochlear macrophage morphology and density changed during aging. Our findings show that cochlea is a microenvironment with a unique heterogeneity of macrophages in terms of gene expression, spatial distribution, ontogeny, and function.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
