| Researchers generated mice with liver-specific knockout of mineral dust-induced gene (MDIG) and applied partial hepatectomy or carbon tetrachloride mouse models to investigate the biological contribution of MDIG in liver regeneration. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |

|
| Circular RNA hsa_circ_0001681 was identified by circular RNA sequencing from 19 pairs of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and adjacent tissue samples. [Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research] |

|
| Due to the high similarity with humans, the authors generated leptin-deficient pigs to investigate the mechanisms and clinical trials of obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) caused by leptin. [Cell & Bioscience] |

|
|
| Upon the successful establishment of a battery of cellular models developing resistance to FGFR4 inhibitors, researchers identified the activation of EGFR, MAPK, and AKT signaling as the primary mechanisms mediating the acquired resistance. [Molecular Cancer Therapeutics] |
|
|
|
| Through in vivo CRISPR knockout screens targeting related E3 ligase genes in HCC nude mice models, investigators discovered Listerin (LTN1) as a novel tumor suppressor in HCC. [Hepatology Communications] |
|
|
|
| Pharmacophore-based virtual screening of a small molecule database was performed initially, and then the screened hits were docked to the active site of SIRT3 to choose the best binding modes. [Journal Of Biomolecular Structure & Dynamics] |

|
|
| Investigators examined the ameliorative effects of camel milk and silymarin supplementation upon aflatoxin B1 induced hepatic injury in rats. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Analysis using dot blot and epitranscriptomic chips revealed that the m6A modification pattern of the transcriptome in high-fat diet-induced fatty liver and free fatty acid-induced fatty hepatocytes showed significant changes. [Nutrition & Metabolism] |
|
|
|
| Scientists evaluated the anti-proliferative effect of Bacillus coagulans MZY531 and apoptosis induction in the mouse H22 hepatocellular carcinoma cell line. [BMC Complementary Medicine And Therapies] |
|
|
|
|
|
| The authors discuss the reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS)-related mechanisms underlying liver fibrosis of distinct etiologies and highlight preclinical and clinical trials of antifibrotic therapies premised on remediating oxidative/nitrosative stress in hepatocytes or targeting hepatic stellate cell activation.

| NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced the dosing of the first patient in its two-part, Phase IIa clinical trial of DA-1241, a novel G-Protein-Coupled Receptor 119 agonist, for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). [NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals] |
