Human hair–bearing skin organoids reveal cell type–specific susceptibility and innate immune responses to herpes simplex virus 1

Epithelial surfaces are the primary sites of lytic herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection following initial exposure or reactivation from latency. To model this complex environment, we used human hair–bearing skin organoids and combined single-cell spatial transcriptomics with...
