Investigations
What is an Investigation?
We apply multiphoton imaging, 3D digital reconstructions and computational simulations to generate spatially-resolved geometrical and functional models of human liver tissue at different stages of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
To investigate the underlying molecular principles of metabolic and morphogenic zonation of the human liver lobule, we generated an integrated epigenetic map across three zones (pericentral, intermediate and periportal) by methylation and transcriptomic analysis of hepatocytes captured by laser micro-dissection. We observe a deep link between epigenetic zonation of human liver and a zonated expression of metabolic and morphogenic pathways: Key transcriptionally zonated enzymes in xenobiotic and ...
