Mouse heart failure time course — 27k single cells, 4 timepoints

How does the cellular composition of the mouse heart change as pressure-overload heart failure develops over six weeks, and which immune populations drive late-stage remodelling?

Client: Public dataset re-analysis (GEO + 10x Genomics) Samples: 4 samples (Sham + TAC 2w/4w/6w), 27,146 cells after QC Turnaround: 10 business days

What we found

What the client wanted to know

Three questions: (1) which cell populations appear in the failing heart that aren’t there in the healthy one, (2) how the composition evolves week-by-week, and (3) whether the temporal pattern of immune infiltration points to a specific therapeutic window.

What we did

End-to-end scRNA-seq workflow on 4 samples (Sham + TAC 2w/4w/6w, 10x Chromium): per-cell QC, doublet filtering, normalization, integration across timepoints, Leiden clustering, marker-based cell-type annotation, differential abundance testing (Milo), differential expression per condition versus sham, and pseudotime analysis along the disease trajectory.

What we delivered

Why it matters for the buyer

scRNA-seq deliverables often arrive as a folder of plots with no narrative — leaving the client to figure out what the data actually says about biology. This case study shows how we wrap the figures in a temporal story that ends in a concrete therapeutic-window hypothesis (“anti-inflammatory intervention should be timed for the 2-week to 4-week window before the B-cell expansion dominates”), grounded in the abundance + DE evidence.
