Previously, eosinophils were primarily regarded as effector toxic cells involved in allergic diseases and parasitic infections. Nevertheless, new research has shown that eosinophils are diverse and essential for immune regulation and tissue homeostasis. Their functional plasticity has been observed in patients with inflammatory diseases, cancer, infections, and other disorders. Although eosinophils are infrequently observed within the liver during periods of homeostasis, they are recruited to the liver in various liver diseases, including liver parasitosis, acute liver injury, autoimmune liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Furthermore, eosinophils have demonstrated the capacity to promote liver regeneration. This article explores the multifaceted roles of eosinophils in liver diseases, aiming to provide insights that could lead to more effective clinical therapies for these conditions.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play a crucial role in regenerative medicine due to their regenerative potential. However, traditional MSC-based therapies are hindered by issues such as microvascular obstruction and low cell survival after transplantation. Exosomes derived from MSCs (MSC-Exo) provide a cell-free, nanoscale alternative, mitigating these risks and offering therapeutic potential for liver diseases.

Immunotherapy, primarily with immune checkpoint inhibitors, has become pivotal in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), leading to significant tumor burden reduction. However, its applicability in liver transplantation remains controversial. Due to the potential risks of rejection limiting large-scale clinical trials and the incomplete understanding of underlying mechanisms, whether transplant recipients can benefit from immunotherapy remains uncertain.

Background And Aims: Liver is the major organ involved in apoA-I synthesis and HDL-C turnover, but the impact of apoA-I/HDL on hepatic transcriptome has never been investigated before. In the present study, a transcriptomic analysis by high-throughput RNA-seq was conducted in the liver of atherosclerosis-prone mice, with the aim of identifying new genes/pathways modulated by apoA-I/HDL with a potential effect on atherosclerosis development.
Methods And Results: Eight-week-old apoE knockout (apoEKO) mice lacking apoA-I/HDL (DKO) and with physiological levels of apoA-I/HDL (DKO/hA-I) were fed either a standard rodent diet (SRD) or a Western diet (WD) for 22 weeks.

Lipid accumulation and metabolic disorders caused by a high-fat diet (HFD) pose significant threats to human health, and place a substantial burden on individuals and society. In this study, a novel combination comprising three traditional Chinese herbs (lotus leaf, hawthorn, and leaf of Chinese holly) and a probiotic (Bifidobacterium lactis BPL-1) (TCMP) was prepared. Then, its effects on growth performance, fat accumulation, hepatic function and gut microbiota in mice fed a high-fat diet were investigated.
