Modlin and colleagues examined the skin lesions of human leprosy patients using single-cell RNA sequencing coupled to cellular spatial mapping. Their analysis maps the architecture of granulomas in leprosy lesions from patients with leprosy with localized disease (tuberculoid leprosy, reversal reaction) to those with progressive infection (lepromatous leprosy).
