Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness in the working population, and the pathogenesis is intricate and yet to be elucidated. Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) provides a powerful tool to explore the pathogenesis of DR at single-cell resolution through in-depth analysis of cellular heterogeneity, functional changes and interactions. This article presents a review of the emerging scRNA-seq technology and its applications in DR, including studies of revealing the cell types and gene expression characteristics, deciphering the pathogenesis, and exploring new therapeutic targets and biomarkers of DR.
