Not Chopped Liver-A Careful, Fate-Mapping Study of Macrophages in NASH

Cell Metab. 2020 Sep 1;32(3):328-330. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2020.08.005.

Abstract

Macrophages are central to the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the identities and functional relationships between tissue-resident and tissue-recruited macrophages in NASH remain poorly understood. A recent study from Seidman et al. (2020) elucidates, at single-cell resolution, the fates, niches, and regulatory landscapes of liver tissue-resident and tissue-recruited macrophage populations in NASH.
