Spatial Transcriptomics Stratifies Psoriatic Disease Severity
- Description
This study described human psoriasis (PsO), which is a prototypic immune-mediated condition with a high predilection for extra-cutaneous involvement. Although the cellular and molecular features of human inflammatory skin diseases have been identified, their tissue context and systemic impact remains unclear. Spatial transcriptomics was performed to explain the cellular landscape of both healthy and psoriatic skin. They analyzed 25 healthy, active lesion, and clinically uninvolved skin biopsies for this study. This dataset includes single cell RNA sequencing data. The data suggests that mild and severe forms of PsO have distinct molecular features and severe PsO may profoundly alter the cellular and metabolic composition of distal unaffected skin sites.
