Organ size and function critically depend on the tight regulation of cellular turnover. In this issue of Trinh . reveal that hepatic stellate cells play an important role in maintaining liver homeostasis by stimulating midzonal hepatocyte proliferation through the secretion of neurotrophin-3.

Background: Cell therapy demonstrates promising potential as a substitute therapeutic approach for liver cirrhosis. We have developed a strategy to effectively expand murine and human hepatocyte-derived liver progenitor-like cells (HepLPCs) in vitro. The primary objective of the present study was to apply HepLPCs to the treatment of liver cirrhosis and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms responsible for their therapeutic efficacy.

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the central link of the occurrence and development of hepatic fibrosis, and autophagy promotes HSCs activation. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification can also control autophagy by targeting selected autophagy-associated genes. but up to now, little research has been done on the m6A modification autophagy-related genes (ATGs) in hepatic fibrosis.
