Key Points
A conserved subset of FABP5 high macrophages promotes both fibrosis and carcinogenesis in liver disease, suggesting potential therapeutic targets.
Single-cell RNA sequencing analyzed over 130,000 cells, revealing insights into tumor heterogeneity in hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma.
Bioinformatics were used to assess the evolution of the tumor microenvironment and validate the role of FABP5 high macrophages in liver disease.
These findings highlight the importance of macrophage metabolism in shaping cirrhotic and cancerous tissue niches.
