808-Single-Cell Spatial Atlas of Human Skin Anatomy
Researchers have developed a comprehensive single-cell spatial atlas of the human skin, mapping approximately 1.2 million cells across 15 different body sites. By utilizing MERFISH technology, the study identifies and localizes 45 distinct cell subpopulations, providing a high-resolution view of how the body's largest organ is organized at a molecular level. The data reveals that skin composition is not uniform; instead, it follows stereotypic patterns of cellular diversity and density that vary between locations like the scalp, face, and extremities. A significant discovery includes the…
