The April issue of @theJIDJournal is out now! See what's included in this issue jidonline.org/current On the cover: MERFISH imaging of a human sebaceous gland reveals the spatial organization of sebocyte differentiation at subcellular resolution across 278 genes. This cover image shows a MERFISH-based subcellular map of a human sebaceous gland, visualizing the spatial distribution of transcripts from 278 distinct genes that delineate the stages of sebocyte differentiation. Each dot represents an individual RNA molecule captured at subcellular resolution, revealing the spatial segregation of basal, transitional, and lipid-producing sebocytes within the gland lobules. The tissue was processed using tangential sectioning to maximize the number of intact sebaceous glands, followed by gel embedding, enzymatic digestion, and extended clearing to optimize signal detection for MERFISH imaging. The MERFISH experiment was performed by Vizgen, and the resulting data were visualized using the proprietary MERSCOPE Visualizer software (.vzg files). This approach enabled precise mapping of transcript distributions within the gland, providing an orthogonal validation of the sebocyte differentiation stages identified in our scRNA-seq and Stereo-seq analyses. For detail, see the related article by Düz et al, “High-Resolution Spatial Map of the Human Facial Sebaceous Gland Reveals Novel Marker Genes and Decodes Sebocyte Differentiation” (doi.org/10.1016/j.jid.…). Readers are invited to view the video linked below to fully understand the complexity of the image.

The new SkinChronicles by Haruna Kimura is out! Multiomic single-cell mapping of SJS/TEN lesions reveals a resident cytotoxic CD8+ T-cell signature alongside keratinocyte antigen presentation, providing a clonotype-resolved framework to guide mechanism-based therapies.
