The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis
This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...

YTHDC1 Is Essential for Postnatal Liver Development and Homeostasis
This study identifies YTHDC1 as a key regulator of postnatal liver development and disease. Hepatocyte‐specific deletion of Ythdc1 impairs hepatocyte maturation, causing liver injury, contributing to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

The Role of CAF‐derived Vitronectin in Promoting Colorectal Cancer Progression and Immunosuppression
Cancer‐associated fibroblast (CAF)‐derived VTN upregulates SLC6A8 expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and macrophages through enhanced FAK phosphorylation. This modulation significantly increases the cellular uptake of creatine and ATP, promoting cancer progression and macrophage polarization.

Using microfluidic models of capillary networks, this study discovered that fluid shear stresses on circulating tumor cells transiting through capillary‐sized bifurcations shed a novel class of shear‐dependent large extracellular vesicle, “shearosomes”, whose proteome comprises of over 3000 distinct proteins.

This study identifies the RUNX1/SLAMF3 axis as a key driver of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM). SLAMF3 suppresses macrophage phagocytosis and depletes C1QC⁺ tumor‐associated macrophages, promoting an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Targeting this axis restores macrophage and CD8⁺ T cell activity and reduces metastasis.
