The liver is a heterogeneous organ organized in lobules that are radially polarized. The use of single-cell spatial transcriptomics has revealed that half of hepatic genes are differentially expressed across the lobule. Ben-Moshe et al. show how a multi-omics approach, which consists of transcriptomics, micro RNA profiling and proteomics, allows for characterization of liver heterogeneity with higher resolution.
