a Schematic overview of the single-cell data collection. Briefly, CVPs (n = 20) and FoPs areas (n = 40) were picked, dissociated and subjected to scRNA-seq. Partly created in BioRender. Van de wetering, M. (2025) https://BioRender.com/pcvss09. b UMAP of the annotated clusters from mouse CVP (n = 4921) and FoP (n = 11570). Descriptive cluster labels are projected. c Dotplot showing relative expression of markers used to annotate the clusters. Basal Basal progenitor, LEC non-taste Lingual epithelial cell, End Endothelial, L-Pr Lgr5+ Stem cell, Myo Myoepithelial, Aci Acinar, Duct Ductal, CVP circumvallate papillae, FoP Foliate papillae.
