CircSMEK1 Suppresses HCC via the hnRNPK‐IGF2‐AKT Axis: A Diagnostic Biomarker and Therapeutic Target
CircSMEK1 is downregulated in MASH/HCC and predicts poor prognosis. It suppresses tumor progression by promoting hnRNPK ubiquitination and inhibiting the IGF2/PI3K/AKT axis, while its loss activates immunosuppressive cancer‐associated fibroblasts. Serum circSMEK1 serves as a non‐invasive diagnostic biomarker, and its restoration potently inhibits HCC ...

Epidemiological investigation into abortion in farmed red deer in New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Veterinary Sciences at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Reproductive performance in rising two-year-old (R2) and mixed-aged (MA) adult hinds is suboptimal in farmed red deer in New Zealand due to failure to conceive, fetal loss, and perinatal and postnatal mortality.

This study successfully engineered vascularized liver organoids (3HLOs) by co‐culturing human reprogrammed hepatocyte‐like cells (hrHLs) with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human umbilical mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs). Upon implantation, the 3HLOs established functional vascular anastomosis with the host circulation and ...
