AXL and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: In line with these findings on protein level, within open available databases of a recently published study using unbiased large-scale techniques, transcriptomes of single liver cells revealed higher AXL expression on KCs of uninjured controls compared with cirrhotic human livers,26 which is similar to the results from a dataset of single-cell transcriptomes of KCs from a murine nonalcoholic fatty liver disease/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis model.30
