Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, predominantly associated with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. These infections drive persistent liver inflammation, culminating in cellular dysregulation, fibrosis, and cancer. Despite advancements in targeted therapies, drug resistance and the lack of reliable biomarkers for patient stratification still terribly hinder the treatment of viral HCC.

Real-time rendering for light field displays (LFDs) enables human-computer three-dimensional (3D) interaction with smooth and realistic experience, which is potentially useful for 3D gaming, virtual reality, or surgical navigation. However, existing rendering methods realize a real-time rendering normally by sacrificing the 3D image resolution. We propose a culling-based real-time rendering (CBR) method with an accurate ray sampling, aimed at rendering the optimal synthetic images in real-time, which reproduce the high resolution 3D images.

The clinical data of patients with newly treated PhMPAL who received venetoclax (VEN), azacytidine (AZA) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from July 1, 2021 to October 31, 2023 were retrospectively included. The last follow-up date was December 1, 2024.

The nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora can capture and kill nematodes using adhesive networks. It has been highlighted the importance of cell polarity, actin organization, and membrane remodeling in the process of trap formation, but the role of septins in adhesive-network forming remains unclear.

The role of Extracellular vesicles (EVs) in facilitating the interactions between cancer cells and the metastatic microenvironment has garnered increasing attention. Previous studies on the role of EVs in metastasis have been primarily focused on cancer cell-derived EVs in modulating the functions of stromal cells.
