Liver fibrosis is a major cause of death worldwide. As a progressive step in chronic liver disease, fibrosis is almost always diagnosed too late with limited treatment options. Here, we uncover the spatial transcriptional landscape driving human liver fibrosis using single nuclei RNA and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin (ATAC) sequencing to deconvolute multi-cell spatial transcriptomic profiling in human liver cirrhosis. Through multi-modal data integration, we define molecular signatures driving cell state transitions in liver disease and define an impaired cellular response and directional trajectory from hepatocytes to cholangiocytes associated with disease remodelling. We identify pro-fibrogenic signatures in non-parenchymal cell subpopulations co-localised within the fibrotic niche and localise transitional cell states at the scar interface. This combined approach provides a spatial atlas of gene regulation and defines molecular signatures associated liver disease for targeted therapeutics or as early diagnostic markers of progressive liver disease.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
