| Researchers reported that anti-obesogenic and anti-inflammatory functions of adenosine A2A receptor significantly restrain HCC development. Adora2a deletion in mice triggered obesity, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and systemic inflammation. [Cell Reports Medicine] |

|
| Investigators found that combining an inhibitor of liver ATP citrate lyase (ACLY), bempedoic acid, and the GLP-1R agonist liraglutide reduced liver steatosis, hepatocellular ballooning, and hepatic fibrosis in a mouse model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. [Cell Reports Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Scientists used single-nucleus RNA sequencing to characterize a mouse model that mimicked human nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)–driven HCC, the MUP-uPA mouse fed a high-fat diet. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that 18S rRNA m6A modification and its methyltransferase METTL5 were aberrantly upregulated in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and associated with poorer survival. [Molecular Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Mouse liver perfusion was used to identify the effects of interstitial flow on hepatocyte proliferation ex vivo. Isolated hepatocytes in vitro were further exposed to varied shear stresses directly. [JHEP Reports] |
|
|
|
| Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) tumor microenvironment was recapitulated on a microfluidic three-channel chip using primary CCA cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and T cells isolated from CCA specimens. [JHEP Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported a fundamental and unexpected role of neutrophils as the predominant phagocyte responsible for the clearance of apoptotic hepatic cells in the steady state. [eLife] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase 1 (PCK1) inhibited the self-renewal property of hepatoma cells, reduced the mRNA level of cancer stem cell markers, and inhibited tumorigenesis. [Genes & Diseases] |
|
|
|
| The authors uncovered that the potent non-coding RNA Tug1, which was related to metabolic enzymes, regulated hepatocytes steatosis induced by sodium palmitate via miR-1934-3p absorbing. [Cell Biology And Toxicology] |
|
|
|
| Immunohistochemistry and western blotting were used to detect the expression level of ADP ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) in HCC tissues. Investigators analyzed the clinical significance of ARF6 in primary HCC patients. [Cancer Cell International] |
|
|
|
| Human hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-like 2 (HSDL2) expression levels in cholangiocarcinoma cells and tissues were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. [World Journal of Surgical Oncology] |
|
|
|
|
|
| The authors review the application of ideal histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) inhibitors with solid anti-tumor efficacy in combination with immunotherapy for HCC. [Cancer Cell International] |

|
|
| Researchers at UC Davis Health have infused their first Wilson Disease patient with a gene therapy as part of a groundbreaking new clinical trial. The treatment has the potential to address the underlying cause of the disease. [UC Davis Health] |
