In this editorial, we comment on the article by Mu , published in the recent issue of the . We pay special attention to the immune tolerance mechanism caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and the role of antiviral therapy in treating HCC related to HBV infection. HBV infection leads to systemic innate immune tolerance by directly inhibiting pattern recognition receptor recognition and antiviral signaling pathways, as well as by inhibiting the immune functions of macrophages, natural killer cells and dendritic cells.

Developing CCC inference methods using traditional experimental methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, cannot handle large amounts of data. To facilitate inference of CCCs, we proposed a computational framework, called CellMsg, which involves two primary steps: identifying ligand-receptor interactions (LRIs) and measuring the strength of LRIs-mediated CCCs.

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) panels have garnered significant attention with the emergence of next-generation network technologies. This paper proposes a novel data-driven approach that leverages Light Detecting and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors to enhance user localization and beamforming in RIS-assisted networks. Integrating LiDAR sensors into the network will be instrumental, offering high-speed and precise 3D mapping capabilities, even in low light or adverse weather conditions.

In this study, we designed a nanoprodrug ISL@MIL-101-ADT to facilitate synergistic delivery of hydrogen sulfide (HS) and prodrug ISL for specific eradication of tumor cells with minimal toxicity and maximal efficacy. The nanoprodrug passively targeted tumors through enhanced permeation and retention effects, followed by disintegration and release of IR780, lonidamine (LND), and HS.
