LOCATION:
Superficial perivascular region in immune niche (lesser extent immune niche adjacent to hair follicles).
GENE EXPRESSION:
Similar gene expression to FRCs (specialised fibroblast populations in lymphoid tissue), particularly to T zone reticular cells (CCL19, CH25H, IL33, TNFSF13B, IL33).
CROSS-TISSUE INSIGHTS
Observed in different tissues. Similar to intestinal T zone reticular cells that are enriched in IBD.
Inherited from cell_type
Set of Labels Description
Aim to harmonise skin fibroblast labels across studies in both health and disease. This specific dataset includes only healthy/non-lesional cells.
