Cross-tissue organization of myeloid cells in scleroderma and related fibrotic diseases
Ian D. Odell
Abstract:Purpose of review
Scleroderma and other fibrotic diseases have been investigated using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq), which has demonstrated enrichment in myeloid cell populations in multiple tissues. However, scRNA-Seq studies are inconsistent in their nomenclature of myeloid cell types, including dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages. Using cell type-defining gene signatures, I propose a unified nomenclature through analysis of myeloid cell enrichment across fibrotic tissues.
