Abstract

In this issue, Ben-Moshe et al. (2022) use spatiotemporally resolved single-cell and spatial transcriptomic profiling to dissect the multicellular dynamics enabling zonal liver regeneration. They highlight how pan-zonal compensatory hepatocyte proliferation, transient reprogramming of peri-injury hepatocytes, and concerted zonated action of different liver cell types orchestrate the healing process.
