| Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) sporozoites invaded human hepatocytes in culture and developed to mature liver-stage schizonts expressing Pf merozoite surface protein in numbers comparable to those manufactured in mosquitoes. [Nature] |

|
| Researchers loaded liquid chromatography column housings with induced pluripotent stem cell derived liver organoids and coupled the “organ-in-a-column” units on-line with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. [Analytical Chemistry] |

|
|
| Coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain-containing (CHCHD2)-overexpressing hepatocytes activated hepatic stellate cells by upregulating osteopontin levels, a downstream mediator of Notch signals. [JCI Insight] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the expression pattern of aldolase A (ALDOA) in hepatocellular carcinoma and its biological role in tumour progression. Bioinformatics analysis, western blot and RT-qPCR were performed to detect the relative expression of ALDOA in HCC tissues and cell lines. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The interaction between CCAT2 and miR-34a-5p was checked by dual luciferase assay. The effects of CCAT2 and miR-34a-5p on cell proliferation and apoptosis were verified by MTT assay, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry assay. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The transwell, wound-healing assay was employed to determine the effects of KIN17 on migration and invasion of HCC cells in vitro. [Molecular Carcinogenesis] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the function of circFUT8 in HCC and its interaction with exosomes, M1 macrophages, and m6A. [Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters] |
|
|
|
| Exosomes were isolated by ultracentrifugation, and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, nanoflow cytometry, and western blot assay. The internalization of exosomes by HCC cells was observed under a fluorescence microscope. [BMC Gastroenterology] |
|
|
|
| The authors aimed to confirm Klotho expression in normal canine liver tissues using western blotting and immunohistochemistry, and whether the expression differed in non-neoplastic liver disease and HCC. [Veterinary and Comparative Oncology] |
|
|
|
| 870 Liver-Chips were analyzed to determine their ability to predict drug-induced liver injury caused by small molecules identified as benchmarks by the Innovation and Quality consortium, who had published guidelines defining criteria for qualifying preclinical models. [Communications Medicine] |

|
| Scientists summarize research developments on the mechanism of action and clinical evidence of metformin and discusses its therapeutic potential and clinical safety. [Molecular Biomedicine] |

|
| Horizon Therapeutics plc announced the first subject had been dosed in a Phase I randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of its development-stage medicine HZN-457, previously known as ARO-XDH. [Horizon Therapeutics plc] |

|
| Akero Therapeutics, Inc. announced that efruxifermin received a Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the FDA for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. [Akero Therapeutics, Inc.] |
