Video Summary
Professor Neil Henderson from the University of Edinburgh presented a lecture on using single-cell genomics approaches to decode human liver disease. His work focused on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving liver fibrosis using technologies like single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics. By analyzing healthy and cirrhotic liver tissue, he identified distinct cell populations like scar-associated macrophages and endothelial cells enriched in disease states. Through ligand-receptor interaction analysis and validation experiments, he unveiled the interactions driving liver fibrosis. Henderson highlighted the rapid advancements in single-cell technologies and their potential for precision medicine in liver disease treatment. Collaborations with researchers and open access to data sets are key to advancing research in this field.
