Single-cell transcriptomics reveals aberrant skin-resident cell populations and identifies fibroblasts as a determinant in rosacea

Abstract excerpt

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, whose underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain obscure. Here, we generate a single-cell atlas of facial skin from female rosacea patients and healthy individuals. Among keratinocytes, a subpopulation characterized by IFNγ-mediated barrier function damage is found to be unique to rosacea lesions. Blocking IFNγ signaling alleviates rosacea-like phenotypes...
