Abstract
The adult adrenal cortex undergoes constant renewal, yet underlying human-specific mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we generated single-cell and spatial transcriptomic atlases of adult human and mouse adrenal glands, leveraging single-cell-resolution spatial data and a rare clonal mosaic case for lineage inference. In humans, we identified age-associated zona glomerulosa (ZG) cell states with direct cortisol synthesis capacity and sex-specific differences in inferred cholesterol balance. Cross-species comparison revealed conserved aldosterone-producing ZG but notable divergence in zona fasciculata markers, absence of zona reticularis homologs in mice and differential SHH–WNT4 signaling in proliferating cells. We uncovered human WT1− capsule-to-ZG transition and vascular smooth muscle cell-to-steroidogenic transitions supported by mosaic lineage evidence. We revealed dispersed proliferating cortical SF1+EZH2+ cells throughout the human cortex in contrast with ZG restriction in mice. Taken together, our data expand the centripetal renewal model and establish a comparative framework for human adrenocortical biology.

Code availability
Source code is available via GitLab at https://
Reproduced under the paper's license (CC BY), from the paper cited above.
Tracing map
Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.
What the map holds:
- 3 repositories of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
- 6 scripts, each with its path and the digest of its content;
- 8 matches between paragraphs of the paper and lines of the code (method lexical-v1);
- neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.
Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.
