Abstract
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) is a technology that has advanced our understanding of the cellular and genetic characteristics of conditions like psoriasis, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. ST is often used in conjunction with methods like single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), which is a popular method to investigate cellular gene expression. Together, ST and scRNA-seq allow for the visualization and quantification of gene expression spatially, with the preservation of tissue architecture. In psoriasis research, ST and scRNA-seq have led to the identification of distinct cell populations within the skin, associated dysregulated pathways, and critical insight into tissue microenvironments and cell-to-cell interactions. In this review, we provide a summary of how ST has been utilized to better understand psoriasis and how it has shaped our understanding of prominent cell types in psoriasis.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Immunology aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas. It contains polished, concise and timely reviews and opinions, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion of the topics discussed.
In Current Opinion in Immunology we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner: 1. The views of experts on current advances in their field in a clear and readable form. 2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
Current Opinion in Immunology will serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, professionals, policy makers and students.
Current Opinion in Immunology builds on Elsevier''s reputation for excellence in scientific publishing and long-standing commitment to communicating reproducible biomedical research targeted at improving human health. It is a companion to the new Gold Open Access journal Current Research in Immunology and is part of the Current Opinion and Research(CO+RE) suite of journals. All CO+RE journals leverage the Current Opinion legacy-of editorial excellence, high-impact, and global reach-to ensure they are a widely read resource that is integral to scientists'' workflow.
