Cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a potentially fatal clonal malignancy of T cells primarily affecting the skin. The most common form of CTCL, mycosis fungoides, can be difficult to diagnose, resulting in treatment delay. We performed single-cell and spatial transcriptomics analysis of skin from patients with mycosis fungoides-type CTCL and an integrated comparative analysis with human skin cell atlas datasets from healthy and inflamed skin.

Aim: Few reports have shown Quality-of-Life long-term outcomes in children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) who received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. We reviewed the short- and long-term outcomes in CDH patients that were supported with ECMO during their neonatal treatment.

Methods: Telephone interviews of parents of CDH children were performed.

The human immune system is made up of a huge variety of cell types each with unique functions. Local networks of resident immune cells are poised to sense and protect against pathogen entry, whereas more widespread innate and adaptive immune networks provide first rapid, then long-lasting and targeted responses. However, how we develop such a diverse and complex system remains unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • The study created a comprehensive reference atlas of human prenatal skin (7-17 weeks post-conception) using advanced techniques like single-cell and spatial transcriptomics to explore the roles of immune cells, specifically macrophages, in skin development.
  • It was found that interactions between immune and non-immune cells are essential for key processes in skin development, such as hair follicle formation, scarless wound healing, and blood vessel growth.
  • Additionally, while a skin organoid model mimicked certain features of prenatal skin, it lacked immune cells and showed limited blood vessel diversity, highlighting the important roles of macrophages and their derived factors in skin morphology and development.
