Spatial Transcriptomics Reveals CXCL12+ Fibroblasts as Central Immune Organizers through CXCR4 Signaling in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Dina Lévy-Lambert, Joel L. Ramirez, Saba Shaikh…·Adam Oskowitz

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to identify CXCL12+ fibroblasts as central immune organizers in AAA through CXCR4 signaling, revealing stromal-immune interactions that drive disease progression.
