The lack of in vivo accurate human liver models hinders the investigation of liver-related diseases, injuries, and drug-related toxicity, posing challenges for both basic research and clinical applications. Traditional cellular and animal models, while widely used, have significant limitations in replicating the liver's complex responses to various stressors. Liver organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells, adult stem cells primary cells, or tissues can mimic diverse liver cell types, major physiological functions, and architectural features.

Liver fibrosis is a significant precursor to cirrhosis and liver cancer, yet effective treatments remain elusive. Our previous studies demonstrated that Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) has therapeutic effects, though it performed poorly at medium concentrations. To address this limitation, BSP underwent selenization modification.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and elevated pulmonary arterial pressure. Currently, pathogenesis of PAH remains poorly understood, and therapeutic options are limited. In this study, we aimed to explore role of p16INK4A (p16) in the development of PAH using mouse model induced by monocrotaline (MCT).

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is genetically complex and difficult to treat. Detection in the early stage is challenging, leading to diagnosis at advanced stages with limited treatment options. This study examined the collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 gene (CTHRC1) as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in HNSCC.

Carboxyl-terminus of Hsp70-Interacting Protein (CHIP) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that marks misfolded substrates for degradation. Hyper-activation of CHIP has been implicated in multiple diseases, including cystic fibrosis and cancer, suggesting that it may be a potential drug target. However, there are few tools available for exploring this possibility.
