Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) remain a complication of diabetes that are difficult to heal and lead to disability. Here the authors use single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to characterize the DFU cellular landscape and identify a population of fibroblasts that is associated with successful wound closure.
