Abstract

En masse phenotyping technology, using massively mosaic donor-derived cells and organoids, can offer enriched insights for cellotype-phenotype association in a cell-type-specific regulatory context. This emerging approach will help to discover biomarkers, inform genetic-epigenetic interactions and identify personalized therapeutic targets, offering hope for precision medicine against highly heterogeneous metabolic diseases.

Keywords: MASLD/MASH; cellotype; en masse phenotyping; iPSC; organoid.
