Liver‐specific lncRNAs associated with liver cancers

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are regulatory molecules with various functions. They are more tissue‐specific than proteins and can be used as potential biomarkers, particularly in cancer diagnostics and prognosis. In this review, we have systematically compiled all lncRNAs with exclusive expression in the human liver, verified their liver specificity ...

Engineering Highly Cellularized Living Materials via Mechanical Agitation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanical agitation strategy is developed to engineer highly cellularized living materials, achieving cell densities of up to 1 billion cells per milliliter. By precisely tuning properties such as stiffness and toughness in blood clots, the approach is validated in both in vitro and in vivo studies.

MCT1‐mediated Lactate Shuttle to Mitochondria Governs Macrophage Polarization and Modulates Glucose Homeostasis by Affecting β Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the transport of lactate to the mitochondria is of critical importance in determining the functions of macrophages by altering mitochondrial respiration. In macrophages, this lactate transport mechanism regulates glucose homeostasis by influencing the functions of insulin‐secreting cells in the pancreatic islets.

Exosomes From Intestinal Epithelial Cells Promote Hepatic Differentiation of Liver Progenitor Cells in Gut‐Liver‐on‐a‐Chip Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The effects of intestinal epithelial cells and their exosomes on the hepatic differentiation of HPCs are explored in a gut‐liver‐on‐a‐chip. Exosomes from intestinal epithelial cells improve liver fibrosis. Moreover, the miR‐371‐373 cluster in the exosomes may mediate this effect by regulating the hepatic differentiation of HPCs.

Role of Tunneling Nanotubes in Arachidonic Acid Transfer and Macrophage Function Reprogramming in Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tunneling nanotubes facilitate the transfer of long‐chain fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, from tumor cells to macrophages, leading to lipid accumulation and activation of the PI3K‐Akt pathway. This drives a shift from the anti‐tumor CD5L⁺ phenotype to a pro‐tumor TREM2⁺ phenotype.

Mitochondrial Regulation of CD8⁺ T Cells: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This article comprehensively explores the pivotal role of mitochondrial function in CD8⁺ T cell immunotherapy. It highlights how mitochondrial dynamics regulate T cell activation, differentiation, and persistence, and how mitochondrial dysfunction leads to immune exhaustion and impaired antitumor/antiviral responses.

GHSR‐Foxo1 Signaling in Macrophages Promotes Liver Fibrosis via Inflammatory Response and Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Macrophage GHSR‐Foxo1 axis regulates CCl4‐induced liver fibrosis by promoting inflammation and TGF‐β1‐mediated HSC activation. GHSR activates PKA‐dependent phosphorylation of Foxo1 at serine 273, promoting macrophage pro‐inflammatory polarization to enhance the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines that damage hepatocytes, thereby inducing liver ...
