Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

Hydropower and Livelihoods in the Mekong Basin: Reservoir Operation for Farming and Fishing Livelihoods, Optimal Livelihoods Strategies, and Simultaneous Optimization of Hydropower and Livelihood Goals [PDF]
, 2017 Hydropower construction, with the promise of providing sustainable energy, government revenue, and economic development, is surging throughout many regions of the world, especially in Asia. The hydropower dams, however, damage natural fisheries and submerge fields. As dam construction dislodges rural communities, rural development experts struggle with

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.
