| Using a STelic Animal Model, investigators treated male mice, which developed diabetes, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and HCC associated with dysbiosis upon low-dose streptozotocin and high-fat diet, with insulin or phlorizin. [Nature Communications] |

|
| A phenotype-based high-content screening was performed and RING finger protein 13 (RNF13) was identified as an effective inhibitor of lipid accumulation in vitro. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists conducted a CRISPR/Cas9 library screening targeting epigenetic factors and identified coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) as a critical inhibitor of ferroptosis. [Molecular Therapy – Nucleic Acids] |
|
|
|
| The authors explored the role of nuclear respiratory factor 1 in HCC progression and investigated the underlying mechanisms. [Biology Direct] |
|
|
|
| Zinc finger protein 281 (ZNF281) knockdown increased the expression of mitochondrial transcription factor A in HCC cells, accompanied by an increment of mitochondrial content, oxygen consumption rate, and levels of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermetabolites. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Investigators engineered a novel GPC3-targeting CAR including an anti-GPC3 scFv, CD3ζ, CD28, and 4-1BB that induced co-expression of IL-7 at a moderate level and CCL19 at a high level, and transduced it into human T cells. [Cell Biology and Toxicology] |
|
|
|
| KH domain-containing, RNA-binding signal transduction-associated protein 3 (KHDRBS3) knockdown and overexpression were performed using the lentiviral vector system to investigate the effects of KHDRBS3 on cell proliferation, apoptosis, chemoresistance, and glycolysis. [Cancer Cell International] |
|
|
|
| Researchers used a comprehensive approach to investigate the effects of ABHD12, which regulated tumorigenesis and sorafenib resistance in liver hepatocellular carcinoma. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Hypoxic HCC cell-derived exosomes (H-LM3-exos) were used to induce hepatocytes over the long term. A nude mouse experiment further verified the effect of H-LM3-exos on tumor growth and metastasis. [Molecular Pharmaceutics] |
|
|
|
|
|
| The authors consider the role of impaired mitochondrial function caused by lipotoxicity during oxidative stress in hepatocytes. [Journal of Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Scientists provide an overview of up-regulated circular RNAs that mediate efficacy in preclinical in vivo models of HCC. [Cancer Genomics & Proteomics] |
|

|
|
| Keep working on it. That’s the reaction of US science watchdog groups to the first attempts by federal health agencies to flesh out a promise by President Joe Biden to restore trust in government by ensuring that government scientists are free to do their jobs without political meddling.
