Emerging functions of the nuclear receptor LRH-1 in liver physiology and pathology

Kristina Schoonjans, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Yu Sun

Nuclear receptors play pleiotropic roles in cell differentiation, development, proliferation, and metabolic processes to govern liver physiology and pathology. The nuclear receptor, liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1, NR5A2), originally identified in the live ...

Space-time logic of liver gene expression at sub-lobular scale

Felix Naef, Colas Noé Droin, Clémence Yumie Syloun Hurni

The mammalian liver is a central hub for systemic metabolic homeostasis. Liver tissue is spatially structured, with hepatocytes operating in repeating lobules, and sub-lobule zones performing distinct functions. The liver is also subject to extensive tempo ...
