Abstract excerpt
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and osteoporosis (OP) are epidemiologically linked, but shared cell-type-specific molecular features remain unclear. We integrated public single-cell/single-nucleus transcriptomic datasets for OP (GSE147287) and MASLD (GSE289173) with two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR), colocalization, network annotation, macrophage-focused in silico...
