In Vivo Induction of Activin A-producing Alveolar Macrophages Supports the Progression of Lung Cell Carcinoma

[Mucosal Immunology] Investigators review novel findings on the emerging role of mesenchymal cells in this process using insights gained from lineage tracing approaches, Cre-based genes deletion and single cells transcriptomics.

[Life Science Alliance] Scientists found a higher HCC incidence in methamphetamine (METH) abusers. METH promoted cellular proliferation, migration, and invasion in two human-derived HCC cells.

[Cell Death Discovery] Human hepatoma PLC/PRF/5-ASBT and THP1 cell lines or primary mouse hepatocytes were used for mechanistic studies. Hepatic TNFRSF12A expression was markedly increased in obstructive cholestasis or primary biliary cholangitis patients.
