  "summary": "The urethra is an understudied organ in both humans and animal models. Here we investigate the mouse urethra to gain insights into its tissue architecture, maintenance mechanisms, and epithelial cell dynamics in homeostasis. For this, we generated a single-cell RNA sequencing dataset that includes cells from the entire urethra of both female and male, with detailed regional information. Using…",
