Cellular Composition of the Human Appendix Using Single-cell RNA and Single-cell ATAC-sequencing.
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Biopsy for Diabetes and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 5 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary
The overall purpose of this study is to describe the cellular composition of the human appendix and its gene expression using scRNAseq and scATACseq methods. This will potentially provide is with a complete and detailed map of the appendix´ immunological properties and its role in neuro-endocrine/metabolic functions. Our results will be held up against current knowledge of the appendix and its role in the human body and thus hopefully expand our understanding of this organ and the consequences of its removal by appendectomy.

Interventions
Participants included in the study, will have a full thickness biopsy of the middle of the appendix taken, after the resected bowel has been removed during surgery.
