|
| Scientists investigated the role of RIPK3 in modulating mitochondria function, coupled with lipid droplet architecture in non-alcoholic fatty acid liver disease. [Hepatology] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that p53 expression increased gradually and reached maximal levels around eight days when laminin α4, α5, β2, β1, and γ1 subunit levels also reached a maximum during hepatic progenitor cell activation and expansion. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Using cultured cells, researchers found that Arid1a loss caused cellular proliferation, escape from cell-cycle control, senescence, and widespread changes in chromatin structure. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| To understand the role of hepatocellular PROM1 in liver fibrosis, global and liver-specific Prom1-deficient mice were analyzed after bile duct ligation. Investigators found that PROM1 was upregulated in the plasma membrane of fibrotic hepatocytes. [Experimental and Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers generated porcine intrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids from adult stem cells and demonstrated that these cultures remained stable over multiple passages whilst retaining the ability to differentiate into hepatocyte- and cholangiocyte-like cells. [Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors found that corosolic acid could inhibit glutathione synthesis (GSH) via HERPUD1, decreasing the cellular GSH level and causing liver cancer cells to become more sensitive to ferroptosis. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported that the long non-coding RNA SNHG6 increased progression from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to HCC by modulating cholesterol-induced mTORC1 activation. [Nature Metabolism] |
|
|
|
|
|
| The authors review the existing literature on racial and ethnic, gender, and socioeconomic disparities in chronic liver diseases using a social determinants of health framework to better understand how social and structural factors cause health disparities and affect chronic liver disease outcomes. [Hepatology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists summarize the currently available liver miRNA profiling studies in people with various stages of NAFLD, and describe the mechanistic role of three of the most extensively studied miRNA species. [Molecular Metabolism] |

|
| Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced initiation of the study of resmetirom, which will noninvasively measure progression to liver decompensation events in approximately 700 patients with compensated NASH cirrhosis. [Madrigal Pharmaceuticals] |

|
|
| LyGenesis plans to inject liver cells from a donor into the lymph nodes of sick recipients, which could give rise to entirely new miniature organs. [LyGenesis (MIT Technology Review)] |
