Multimodal Analyses of Stable Vitiligo Skin Identify Tissue Interactions That Control Disease Persistence
2021-12-03
Abstract excerpt
Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disease that is characterized by the progressive destruction of melanocytes by autoreactive CD8 + T cells. Melanocyte destruction in active vitiligo is mediated by CD8 + T cells but why white patches in stable disease persist is poorly understood. The interaction between immune cells, melanocytes, and keratinocytes in situ in human skin has been difficult to study due to the lack...
