Dissecting the single-cell transcriptomeunderlying chronic liver injury

Chronic liver disease (CLD) is currently a major health problem worldwide, which is accompanied by chronic liver injury and lack of clinically effective treatment; however, systematic characterization of chronic liver injury procedures at single-cell resolution is lacking. In the present study, we e...
