|
| Investigators showed a global lactylome profiling on a prospectively collected hepatitis B virus-related HCC cohort. They revealed that lysine lactylation played an important role in regulating cellular metabolism and may contribute to HCC progression. [Nature Metabolism] |
|
|
|
| The authors suggested that the circadian clock regulators BMAL1 and CLOCK promoted HCC cell proliferation by controlling Wee1 and p21 levels, thereby preventing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. [Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States Of America] |
|
|
|
| Investigators generated krüpple-Like factor 14 (KLF14) overexpression and silencing liver cancer cells, and nude mouse xenograft models for the in vitro and in vivo study exploring the function of KLF14 in HCC. [Journal Of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists identifed a population of “liver-type” innate lymphoid cells 1 with transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional features distinct from those of conventional and liver-resident natural killer cells. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that, in HCC, speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) was highly O-GlcNAcylated by O-GlcNAc transferase at Ser96. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| Scientists designed a study to reveal the effect and underlying mechanism of Josephin-2, a relatively newly defined deubiquitinating enzyme, in HCC progression. [Genes & Genomics] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the effect of a physiologically relevant, low concentration of cadmium on the regulation of liver cancer cell proliferation, steatosis, and fibrogenic/oncogenic signaling. [Environmental Toxicology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that liver sinusoidal endothelial cell senescence-accelerated liver sinusoid capillarization and promoted steatosis by reprogramming liver endothelial zonation and inactivating pericentral endothelium-derived C-kit. [Nature Aging] |
|
|
|
|
|
| Investigators review and describe the different approaches for the development of liver models currently used in the field of tissue engineering. [Biomaterials Science] |
|
|
|
| The authors review the metabolic links between diet-induced changes in the gut and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and discuss the therapeutic interventions for the treatment of obesity and liver metabolic diseases. [iScience] |

|
| Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced additional results from the pivotal Phase III MAESTRO-NASH biopsy clinical trial of resmetirom, a liver-directed selective thyroid hormone receptor agonist. [Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc.] |
