Serum EphA4 is Associated with both Parenchymal Hematoma and Increased Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability after Ischemic Stroke. (PubMed, Neurocrit Care)
Elevated EphA4 levels in serum are associated with higher risk of PH after ischemic stroke, especially among patients showing greater permeability of the BBB as reflected in higher ipsilateral FED on computed tomography perfusion.

Transcriptomic analysis reveals the potential role of TOE1 in hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
This research highlights the pivotal role of TOE1 in HCC, indicating its promise as a novel target for early detection, therapeutic strategies, immunological intervention, and prognosis assessment in HCC. These findings provide fresh perspectives for precision medicine in the context of HCC.

Aurora-A-mediated cytosolic localization of Maf1 promotes cell proliferation via regulating mitochondrial function in HCC. (PubMed, Cell Death Discov)
Furthermore, HCC cells with overexpressed Maf1 have heightened sensitivity to Aurora-A inhibitors, suggesting a potential therapeutic vulnerability. Our study uncovers a non-canonical, oncogenic role of Maf1 in HCC and highlights the Aurora-A-Maf1 axis as a promising target for personalized cancer therapy.

Radiomic signatures to estimate survival in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treated with sorafenib: Cancer and Leukemia Group B 80802 (Alliance). (PubMed, ESMO Open)
OS can be accurately predicted in patients with HCC receiving sorafenib by combining certain radiomics features with clinical metadata, centered primarily on baseline characteristics.

Metabolism-programming mRNA-lipid nanoparticles remodel the immune microenvironment to improve immunotherapy against MAFLD. (PubMed, Sci Transl Med)
In preclinical models, the administration of Def-LNP@mRNATCPTP successfully eliminated steatohepatitis, impeded hepatocarcinogenesis, and improved the therapeutic responsiveness of HCC to cancer vaccine and immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Def-LNP@mRNATCPTP represents a potential therapeutic strategy for MAFLD and MAFLD-related HCC, potentially offering treatment paradigms for immunotherapy for HCC and metabolic liver diseases.

Engineered Gadolinium-Decorated Magnetic Resonance Nanoprobes for Enhanced Liver Fibrosis Theranostics. (PubMed, Adv Healthc Mater)
Moreover, GPPN improves magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signals of liver fibrosis to enable more accurate assessment of disease progression. Overall, GPPN presents considerable potential for the precise diagnosis and effective therapy of liver fibrosis.

UTP3: A Prognostic Marker in Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Its Role in Immunity and Epigenetics. (PubMed, J Biochem Mol Toxicol)
A nomogram centered on UTP3 yielded a 1-year AUC of 0.693. This multi-omics study establishes UTP3 as a key regulator connecting epigenetic alterations, immune suppression, and tumor progression in LIHC.
