    SOCS2-Enhanced Ubiquitination of SLC7A11 Promotes Ferroptosis and Radiosensitization in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    The suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2) was screened out by RNA-seq and bioinformatics analyses as a potential prognosis predictor of HCC radiotherapy and then was determined to promote radiosensitivity in HCC both in vivo or in vitro.

    BMP4 and Gremlin 1 Regulate Hepatic Cell Senescence during Clinical Progression of NAFLD/NASH

    Studies in liver cell spheroids made from human stellate and hepatocyte cells showed bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) to be anti-senescent, anti-steatotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic, whereas Gremlin 1 was pro-senescent and antagonistic to BMP4.
