Engineered Hydrogels for Organoid Models of Human Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by lipid accumulation and extracellular matrix stiffening. An in vitro NAFLD model is developed using engineered hydrogels (G′ ≈ 1–6 kPa) and iPSC‐derived hepatic organoids. It is demonstrated that higher stiffness can increase lipid droplet accumulation, fibrosis, and metabolic dysregulation ...

Reduced lysosomal acid lipase activity: A new marker of liver disease severity across the clinical continuum of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? [PDF]

, 2019
Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) plays a key role in intracellular lipid metabolism. Reduced LAL activity promotes increased multi-organ lysosomal cholesterol ester storage, as observed in two recessive autosomal genetic diseases, Wolman disease and ...

In Situ Assembly of Fluorogenic RNA for Screening Natural Anti‐Liver Fibrosis Products via Dynamic Visualization of COL1A1 mRNA

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces an in situ assembly of fluorogenic RNA approach for screening natural anti‐liver fibrosis compounds and dynamic visualization of endogenous COL1A1 mRNA in live cells. It offers a simple, cost‐effective approach of visualizing RNA dynamics and conducting drug screening in live cells, presenting a significant potential for the ...

Gut microbiota–derived short‐chain fatty acids regulate group 3 innate lymphoid cells in HCC

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are essential for host defense against infection and tissue homeostasis. However, their role in the development of HCC has not been adequately confirmed. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory role of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) derived from intestinal microbiota in ILC3

Predictive model of in-hospital mortality in liver cirrhosis patients with hyponatremia: an artificial neural network approach

Scientific Reports
Hyponatremia can worsen the outcomes of patients with liver cirrhosis. However, it remains unclear about how to predict the risk of death in cirrhotic patients with hyponatremia. Patients with liver cirrhosis and hyponatremia were screened.

Therapeutic effects of serum extracellular vesicles in liver fibrosis

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2018
The lack of approved therapies for hepatic fibrosis seriously limits medical management of patients with chronic liver disease. Since extracellular vesicles (EVs) function as conduits for intercellular molecular transfer, we investigated if EVs from ...

A Joint Deep Learning Approach for Automated Liver and Tumor Segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer in adults, and the most common cause of death of people suffering from cirrhosis. The segmentation of liver lesions in CT images allows assessment of tumor load, treatment planning, prognosis and monitoring of treatment response.

m6A‐Mediated TMCO3 Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Facilitating the Membrane Translocation and Activation of AKT

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TMCO3 as a downstream target of ALKBH5 is found, which regulates its expression in an m6A‐dependent manner, and then a new phosphorylation site on TMCO3 is identified and determines the specific mechanism of TMCO3 with AKT. Moreover, the combined treatment of targeting the TMCO3 and inhibition of AKT in mice models with HCC achieves great results ...

Relationship between NAFLD and coronary artery disease: A Mendelian randomization study

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims There is an ongoing debate on whether NAFLD is an active contributor or an innocent bystander in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to assess the causal relationship between NAFLD and CAD.
