Single-cell sequencing combined with spatial transcriptomics reveals the characteristics of follicle-targeted inflammation patterns in primary cicatricial alopecia
16 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Primary cicatricial alopecia (PCA) causes irreversible hair loss due to immune-mediated hair follicle destruction. This study investigates follicle-targeted inflammation in lichen planopilaris (LPP), a major PCA subtype, to identify therapeutic targets. METHODS: Scalp samples from LPP, localized scleroderma (LS), and controls were analyzed using single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics....
