Transcriptional landscape of epithelial and immune cell populations revealed through FACS-seq of healthy human skin

Abstract Human skin consists of multiple cell types, including epithelial, immune, and stromal cells. Transcriptomic analyses have previously been performed from bulk skin samples or from epithelial and immune cells expanded in cell culture. However, transcriptomic analysis of bulk skin tends to dro...
