Single-cell RNA sequencing allows the division of cell populations, offers precise transcriptional profiling of individual cells, and fundamentally advances the comprehension of cellular diversity. In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), the application of single-cell RNA sequencing identifies multiple types of cells, including neurons, glial cells, ependymal cells, immune cells, and vascular cells. Sub-types of neurons and glial cells have further been recognized in nerve tissues, especially tissues in different physiological and pathological states. In the current article, we compile the heterogeneities of cells that have been reported in the PNS and describe cellular variability during development and regeneration. The discovery of the architecture of peripheral nerves benefits the understanding of the cellular complexity of the PNS and provides a considerable cellular basis for future genetic manipulation.
