|
| Scientists reported that PCDHB14 was inactivated by aberrant methylation of its promoter in HCC patients and that PCDHB14 functioned as a tumor suppressor to promote cell cycle arrest, inhibit cell proliferation, and induce ferroptosis. [Oncogene] |

|
|
| The authors reported that loss- and gain-of-function studies confirmed that low expression of GBA1 promoted metastasis of liver cancer both in vitro and in vivo. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the functional outcome of regulating hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2) expression in three murine models: CCl4-induced acute liver injury, CCl4-induced chronic liver fibrosis, and bile duct ligation-induced liver fibrosis. [Experimental and Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported that stable knockdown of integrin α6 (ITGA6) with different ITGA6 shRNA expression lentivectors significantly inhibited proliferation, migration, and anchorage-independent growth of HCC cell lines in vitro, and xenograft tumor growth in vitro. [International Journal of Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the role of Dectin-1 in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Condition media generated from Dectin-1 deficient macrophages failed to cause hepatocyte lipid accumulation and hepatic stellate activation. [Acta Pharmacologica Sinica] |
|
|
|
|
Scientists discovered that exosomal Gremlin-1 derived from cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) contributes to epithelial-mesenchymal transition of hepatoma cells. [Molecular Carcinogenesis] |
| | Investigators developed a diethylnitrosamine-induced liver cancer model in rats to examine hepatocarcinogenesis, and delivered liposomal capsaicin through the subcutaneous transposition of the spleen to the liver. [Cancer Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported that the miR-138-5p mimic or inhibitor decreased or increased, respectively, tube formation capacity in HepG2 and Hep3B cells. [Journal of Immunology Research] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported that over-expression or knock-down miR-27a-3p could significantly affect the proliferation ability of HCCLM3 and Huh-7. [Chemical Biology & Drug Design] |
| |
|
|
|
| The authors discuss the latest advances in cell identity conversion during liver regeneration, including conversions between hepatocytes and cholangiocytes and hepatocyte reprogramming to liver progenitor-like cells. [Current Opinion in Genetics & Development] |
|
|
|
| Scientists report recent studies on organoids to model human liver diseases and discuss the advantages and limitations of current liver organoids for translational applications. [Archives of Pharmacal Research] |

|
| Arbutus Biopharma Corporation and Vaccitech plc announced the first patient dosed in a Phase IIa clinical trial for the treatment of patients with virologically-suppressed chronic Hepatitis B virus infection. [Arbutus Biopharma Corporation] |
