Single-cell atlas of the developing mouse oviduct reveals smooth muscle heterogeneity and identifies Vps34 as a critical regulator of female fertility
This study constructs a developmental atlas of murine oviduct SMCs, revealing that the myosalpinx is composed of functionally distinct SMC subtypes with dynamic developmental trajectories, and highlights the importance of SMC subtype homeostasis and autophagy-mediated maintenance of myosalpinx structure.
