| In the liver, ductal cells rarely proliferate during homeostasis but do so transiently after tissue injury. Using organoid co-cultures that recapitulated the ductal-to-mesenchymal cell architecture of the portal tract, researchers demonstrated that a subpopulation of mouse periportal mesenchymal cells exerted dual control on proliferation of the epithelium.

| Single-cell transcriptomics revealed three transcriptionally heterogeneous hematopoietic stem cell and multipotent progenitor subsets, among which a CD93-enriched subset exhibited enhanced stem cell properties. [Cell Research] |

| Mass spectrometry analysis of the β-hydroxybutyrylome in mouse liver revealed 891 sites of Kbhb within 267 proteins enriched for fatty acid, amino acid, detoxification, and one-carbon metabolic pathways. [Cell Reports] |

|
| Investigators compared methionine adenosyltransferase 1A (MAT1A) interactome in normal versus cancerous livers by mass spectrometry to reveal interactions with 14-3-3ζ. The MATα1/14-3-3ζ complex was critical for the expression of 14-3-3ζ. [Oncogene] |

| Scientists summarize the current knowledge of how different crosstalk between liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and other liver cells, including hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells, macrophoges, immune cells in liver and extra cellular matrix contribute to the physiological function and the progrssion from liver fibrosis to cirrhosis, or even to hepatocellular carcinoma.
