Research Article: Characterization of the Immune Microenvironment and Identification of Biomarkers in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps Using Single-Cell RNA Sequencing and Transcriptome Analysis
Introduction:
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common disease in the field of otorhinolaryngology, however, information about its pathogenesis remains to be elucidated. Different pathogenic mechanisms of CRS mediate different types of immunopathologies (“disease endotypes”), which produce different clinical manifestations known as disease phenotypes. Clinically, CRS is frequently classified into two distinct phenotypes based on the presence or absence of nasal polyps: CRS sans nasal polyps and CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNPs).…
