Compartmentalized inflammation is a key driver of multiple sclerosis (MS) progression, but the mechanisms sustaining its persistence remain unclear. A hallmark of this persistent and slowly evolving inflammatory process is chronic active MS lesions. We generated a high-resolution, single-cell molecular and spatial atlas of such lesions by combining single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) with multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH). Within lesion rims, we identified ...
