Compared to mouse models, less is known about human epidermal cell states and differentiation. In this issue of Cell Reports, Cheng et al. (2018) dissect the cell states and heterogeneity in human epidermis with large-scale transcriptomics of 92,889 single epidermal cells from normal and inflamed skin.
