Single-Cell Atlas Reveals the Hemocyte Subpopulations and Stress Responses in Asian Giant Softshell Turtle during Hibernation

Hibernation in turtle species is an adaptive survival strategy to colder winter conditions or food restrictions.However, the mechanisms underlying seasonal adaptions remain unclear.In the present study, we collected hemocytes from Pelochelys cantorii and compared the molecular signature of these cells between the active state and hibernation period
