- Abstract
The skin consists of several cell populations, including epithelial, immune, and stromal cells. Recently, there has been a significant increase in single-cell RNA-sequencing studies, contributing to the development of a consensus Human Skin Cell Atlas. The aim is to understand skin biology better and identify potential therapeutic targets. The present review utilized previously published single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets to explore human skin's cellular and functional heterogeneity. Additionally, it summarizes the functional significance of newly identified cell subpopulations in processes such as wound healing and aging., Competing Interests: Disclosure A. Mandinova is a co-founder (with equity) of New Frontier Bio, a consumer health company developing skincare and anti-aging products, and has equity in DermBiont, a private company advancing targeted topical therapeutics for dermatologic indications.
