Abstract

Large-scale single-cell atlases have revealed many aging- and disease-associated cell types, yet these populations are often underrepresented in heterogeneous tissues, limiting detailed molecular analyses. To address this, we developed EnrichSci-a scalable, microfluidics-free platform that combines hybridization chain reaction RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with combinatorial indexing to profile single-nucleus transcriptomes of target cell types with full gene-body coverage. Applied to oligodendrocytes in the aging mouse brain, EnrichSci uncovered aging-associated molecular dynamics across distinct oligodendrocyte subtypes, revealing both shared and subtype-specific gene expression changes. Additionally, we identified aging-associated exon-level signatures missed by conventional gene-level analyses, highlighting post-transcriptional regulation as a critical dimension of cell-state dynamics in aging. By coupling transcript-guided enrichment with a scalable sequencing workflow, EnrichSci provides a versatile approach to decode dynamic regulatory landscapes in diverse cell types from complex tissues.
