Deep tissue imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window holds great promise for widespread fundamental research. However, inhomogeneous signal attenuation due to tissue absorption and scattering hampers its application for accurate in vivo biosensing. Here, lifetime-based in situ hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) detection in NIR-II region is presented using a tumor-microenvironment (peroxynitrite, ONOO )-responsive lanthanide-cyanine Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) nanosensor. A specially designed ONOO -responsive NIR-II dye, MY-1057, is synthesized as the FRET acceptor. Robust lifetime sensing is demonstrated to be independent of tissue penetration depth. Tumor lesions are accurately distinguished from normal tissue due to the recovery lifetime. Magnetic resonance imaging and liver dissection results illustrate the reliability of lifetime-based detection in single and multiple HCC models. Moreover, the ONOO amount can be calculated according to the standard curve.

The importance of SUMOylation in tumorigenesis has received increasing attention, and research on therapeutic agents targeting this pathway has progressed. However, the potential function of SUMOylation during hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identified that SUMO-Specific Peptidase 3 (SENP3) was upregulated in HCC tissues and correlated with a poor prognosis.

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FHCC) is a rare variant of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), characterised by a poorer prognosis in later stages compared with conventional HCC due to a high rate of local recurrence, lymph node metastasis and peritoneal metastasis. Conventional chemotherapy is generally ineffective, making surgery the only potentially curative treatment. Currently, surgery is also indicated in cases of recurrence, always aiming for an R0 resection.

Introduction: Parkin-mediated mitophagy is essential for the clearance of damaged mitochondria, and it inhibits tumour development. The role of mitophagy in modulating tumour immunity is becoming clearer, but the underlying mechanism is still poorly understood.

Objective: This study was designed to examine the role for Parkin in the immune microenvironment of liver tumors induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl).

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) combined with tumour markers in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing microwave ablation (MWA).

Methods: MWA patients with HCC were divided into good prognosis (n = 75) and poor prognosis (n = 69) groups. The levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carbohydrate antigen (CA19-9), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) before and after MWA were analysed using an independent sample t-test.
