Preprint alert!! How zonated hepatocytes adapt to changes in lipid influx due to fasting or a Western diet (WD). We developed a microscopy-based phenotyping method called single-cell phenomics (scPhenomics) to measure the features of mitochondria and lipid droplets (LDs).
Milestones is an annual publication covering the exciting research performed at the National Cancer Institute, NIH. This year, my group is honored to be included!
It's truly a privilege to work with @poratshliomlab.bsky.social at NIH/NCI on understanding metabolic multi-tasking at the tissue level, in the liver and in the kidney.

Congrats to the entire lab for the highlight (on p.20) as well as the stunning cover image! 🎉

Preprint alert ‼️

Excited to share our work investigating liver zonation in human health and disease with our advanced single-cell Deep Visual Peoteomics framework!
Introducing our single-cell DVP framework combining strategic cell selection with protein gradient mapping algorithms. Analyzing hepatocyte proteomes across 18 human livers, revealing cross-species differences, and mapping disruptions in liver fibrosis.

Is liver zonation conserved from mice to humans? And how does fibrosis affect zonation in patients? Now, these questions are answered using scDVP. Some collaborations are meant to be! @carolineweiss.bsky.social@frosenberger.bsky.social @mannlab.bsky.social@mlsb-borgwardt.bsky.social

Check out this preprint from collaborator Lance Johnson @johnsonlab.bsky.social and team characterizing the APOE3 vs E4 #LipidDroplet -ome! Some interesting Easter eggs in there 🐇🥚😉
new preprint!

a characterization of APOE effects on the lipid droplet-ome (turns out you see a lot of "AD-related" proteins!)

Wow!! Amazing preprint from the Porat-Shliom lab showing how organelle signatures vary across space and diet in the liver. This paper has it all: gorgeous microscopy, lipid droplets, mitochondria, and one of my favorite proteins, PLIN5 🤩
