| Scientists uncovered that periportal-specific liver progenitor-like cell formation was initiated by regionally activated Kupffer cells but not peripheral monocyte-derived macrophages. [Cell Stem Cell] |

|
| Researchers demonstrated that scaffolds crosslinked with nano-graphene oxide show high resistance to enzymatic degradation via direct inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase activity and increased mechanical rigidity. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Investigators tested the susceptibility of seven mouse strains to develop non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The severity of the clinical phenotypes observed varied widely across strains. [Journal of Experimental Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Hepatic steatosis was analyzed by Nile Red staining and measurement of inflammatory cytokines. Lipid accumulation and cell death were evaluated in co-culture systems with primary hepatocytes and Kupffer cells derived from either Ttp+/+ or Ttp−/− mice. [Metabolism Clinical And Experimental] |
|
|
|
| Researchers detected widespread expression of shared TP53-Y220C neoantigen in HCC with low affinity and low stability of binding to HLA-A0201 molecules. [European Journal of Immunology] |
|
|
|
| The authors aimed to confirm the biological roles of seven in absentia homolog 2 (SIAH2) in liver cancer and provide potential therapeutic targets. Differential analysis was conducted based on public datasets and found that SIAH2 expressed lowly in HCC samples relative to normal tissues. [Experimental Cell Research] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that Tubulin γ-1 (TUBG1) was upregulated in human HCC cells and tissues and that TUBG1 upregulation was associated with promoter hypomethylation in HCC tissues. [Medical Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists evaluated the role of NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis in HCC and to clarify the potential mechanism by which 17β-estradiol could be used as a protective factor against HCC. [Medical Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers used Airyscan super-resolution microscopy and correlative light-electron microscopy to characterize parkin association during photodamage-induced mitophagy, a form of phosphoinositide 3-kinase-independent or Type 2 mitophagy. [Biophysical Journal] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists describe the origin as well as phenotypic heterogeneity of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and their potential effects on the occurrence and development of HCC and also discuss various adjuvant therapy-based strategies that can be used for targeting TAMs. [Cell Death Discovery] |
