Show abstract
The human skin confers biophysical and immunological protection through a complex cellular network that is established early in development. We profiled ~500,000 single cells using RNA-sequencing from healthy adult and developing skin, and skin from patients with atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Our findings reveal a predominance of innate lymphoid cells and macrophages in developing skin in contrast to T cells and migratory dendritic cells in adult skin. We demonstrate dual keratinocyte differentiation trajectories and activated cellular circuits comprising vascular endothelial cells mediating immune cell trafficking, disease-specific clonally expanded IL13/IL22 and IL17A/F-expressing lymphocytes, epidermal IL23-expressing dendritic cells and inflammatory keratinocytes in disease. Our findings provide key insights into the dynamic cellular landscape of human skin in health and disease. One Sentence SummarySingle cell atlas of human skin reveals cell circuits which are quantitatively and qualitatively reconfigured in inflammatory skin disease.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
