|
| Using high-throughput screens, proteomics and in vitro resistance models, investigators identified the small molecule YC-1 as selectively active against a defined subset of cell lines derived from both liver cancer types. [Nature Cancer] |
|
|
|
| The authors demonstrated that phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1) played a central role in metabolic-associated fatty liver disease progression. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists proposed that two Hippo signaling modules, MST1/2–SAV1–WWC1-3 and MAP4K1-7–NF2, together regulated the activity of LATS1/2 kinases and YAP/TAZ transcriptional co-activators. [EMBO Journal] |
|
|
|
| Researchers explored the role of interleukin-33 (IL-33) role in HCC and identified that a posttranslational modification altered its nuclear activity and promoted immune escape for HCC. [Science Signaling] |
|
|
|
| Deletion of Diaphanous 1 (Diaph1) attenuated expression of genes regulating hepatic lipid metabolism without effect on mRNA expression of upstream transcription factors in male mice. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists suggested the CAR T cells could specifically eliminate Tn-MUC1-positive intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) cells, but not Tn-MUC1-negative ICC cells, in vitro and in vivo. [Journal Of Immunotherapy] |
|
|
|
| MUC13 was upregulated in HCC and liver cancer stem cells (CSCs) and had a positive influence on CSC generation. Further analyses revealed that MUC13 with promoter hypomethylated was regulated by DNA demethylase TET3. [Epigenomics] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that Cu2-xSe nanoparticles inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells and mainly induced cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. [Biomedical Materials] |

|
|
| The authors present the latest knowledge of the pathogenic mechanisms and clinical management of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis-HCC. [Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology] |

|
| Researchers from the University of Sydney have been awarded $47 million to support 32 research projects, including investigations of younger-onset dementia, the treatment of blinding eye diseases through stem cell therapy, and the impact of e-cigarette use by adolescents.
