Description

Shang and a large team trace in twenty twenty-five a chain of cell events that drives long-lasting mouth inflammation in oral lichen planus. The chronic disease varies in look and can turn cancerous, and its drivers were unclear. Using single-cell and spatial gene maps, a big patient cohort, lab tests, and tissue staining, the team followed signals from surface cells to immune cells.

They found surface cells dying by a fiery route switch on a class of macrophages. Those cells release a signal that activates a helper T cell type, speeding tissue inflammation. The team also built a public atlas linking mouth and gut inflammation data. They offer the chain as a drug target and the atlas as a shared tool.
