Embryonic macrophages support endocrine commitment during human pancreatic differentiation

Prenatal Skin Cell Atlas reveals macrophages' role beyond immunity

In this article, we discuss a recently published study by Gopee et al., who have unveiled a surprising role for macrophages in human prenatal skin development, extending far beyond their traditional immune function. By constructing a comprehensive multi-omics single-cell atlas of human prenatal skin, they demonstrate that innate immune cells play a key role in hair follicle formation, scarless wound healing and neurovascular development.
