Keloid is a dermatofibrotic disease known for its aggressive nature and characterized by pathological scarring, which often leads to disfigurement and frequent recurrences. Effective therapies for keloids are still limited, presumably due to the inadequate comprehension of their aggressive mechanisms. In our study, we examined the unique scenario where both keloid and non-aggressive pathological scar originate from the same patient, providing a rare opportunity to explore the aggressive mechanisms of keloids through single-cell RNA sequencing.

Background: Pathological scars (PSs), resulting from abnormal skin repair, chronic inflammation, and fibrosis, affect millions of people. Previous studies have demonstrated that skin microbiota (SM) plays a role in cutaneous inflammation and healing, but the interplay between PSs and SM remains unclear yet.

Objective: To investigate the causal associations between SM and two specific PSs: hypertrophic scars (HSs) and keloids.
