| Scientists showed that there was a specific multiplicative interaction between female sex and patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3) p.I148M in determining fatty liver disease in at-risk individuals (steatosis and fibrosis, and advanced fibrosis/HCC) and in the general population.

|
| In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, investigators assessed the efficacy and safety of FOLFOX4 with all-trans-retinoic acid as a palliative treatment for HCC patients with extrahepatic metastasis, compared to FOLFOX4 with a placebo.

|
|
| Scientists performed a metabolic gene CRISPR/Cas9 knockout library screen in tumorspheres derived from HCC cells and found that deletion of scavenger receptor class B member 2 (SCARB2) suppressed the cancer stem cell-like properties of HCC cells. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers conducted a cohort study with data from Swedish university hospitals. Patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) without cirrhosis were diagnosed through biopsy or radiology, and had fibrosis estimated. [JHEP Reports] |

|
| Investigators found up-regulated mitotic arrest deficient 2 (MAD2) facilitated cholangiocarcinoma progression and induced lymphatic metastasis dependent on USP44/LIMA1/PI3K/AKT pathway. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| The role of nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) and kinesin family member 11 (KIF11) in cellular senescence and tumor growth in HCC was assessed both in vitro and in vivo. [Clinical and Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the role of caspase recruitment domain family member 9 (CARD9) in the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NASH models were established using CARD9-knockout and wild-type mice. [Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta-Molecular Basis Of Disease] |

|
|
| The anti-HCC effect of aidi injection was evaluated in various HCC cells and the zebrafish xenograft model. [Journal of Ethnopharmacology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers evaluated potential alterations and dynamics of circulating glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) in patients undergoing liver resections, focusing on post-hepatectomy liver failure. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Constitutively hepatocyte-specific histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3)-deficient mice and constitutively hepatocyte-specific HDAC3 knockout and systemic interleukin-6 simultaneously ablated mice were used to explore the causes of sex differences in HCC. [BMC Cancer] |

|
|
| The authors focus specifically on the bioactive lipids derived from phospholipids and poly-unsaturated fatty acids in the prevalent chronic hepatopathies. [Journal of Hepatology] |

| The Keck School of Medicine of the University of South Carolina (USC) has received funding from the National Institutes of Health as part of a five-year, $50.3 million “multi-omics” study of human health and disease involving six sites. [University of South Carolina] |
