Improved integration of single-cell transcriptome data demonstrates common and unique signatures of heart failure in mice and humans.

The demonstration of unique pathways occurring in humans indicates limitations on the comparability between mice models and human HFrEF and shows that results from the mice model should be validated carefully. OrthoIntegrate is publicly accessible (https://github.com/MarianoRuzJurado/OrthoIntegrate) and can be used to integrate other large datasets to provide a general comparison of models with patient data.
