Genes expected to be absent, or expressed at a notably low level, in these cells, and whose absence supports the assignment of this cell annotation.
—
Rationale
Express both periportal and central markers (TAGLN, PTGDS, SELE, PRSS23)
Inherited from author_cell_type
Set of Labels Description
HLiCA classifies cells into six lineages and 48 distinct cell types, 18 more than previous studies. Rigorous benchmarking ensured robust integration across technical and biological variables. Expanded annotations allowed identification of previously undetected liver cell types. As the largest human liver cell atlas, HLiCA serves as a genetically diverse, well-annotated reference.
