Inosine alleviates colorectal cancer liver metastasis by promoting M1 macrophage polarization and modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Inosine inhibits the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Inosine exerted an inhibitory effect on colorectal cancer liver metastasis by skewing macrophages toward an M1 phenotype, dampening pro-inflammatory cytokine release, and regulating key genes via the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Defining success in functional cure for chronic hepatitis B: a nationwide survey of physician benchmarks to guide clinical practice and trial design. (PubMed, Front Public Health)
Our findings translate the collective expertise of Chinese physicians into actionable benchmarks for HBV functional cure. The consensus on a minimal 30% cure rate and a preference for combination therapy provide crucial guidance for clinical trial design and the development of novel antiviral strategies.

Therapeutic misalignment averted by clonal evolutionary evidence: molecular confirmation of hepatic metastasis in SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell lung cancer initially misdiagnosed as resectable cholangiocarcinoma. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
This study provides the first genomic evidence of shared and divergent somatic mutations in SMARCA4-dNSCLC and its hepatic metastasis. Clonal evolutionary analysis confirmed the diagnosis of SMARCA4-dNSCLC with hepatic metastasis, resolving diagnostic challenges and supporting precision therapy.

Riboflavin (VB2) inhibits hepatocellular carcinogenesis by enhancing retinol metabolism and suppressing cell proliferation in Hras12V transgenic mice. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Safety assessments in wild-type C57BL/6 mice revealed no significant treatment-related toxicity. To our knowledge, this study is the first to demonstrate in vivo that VB2 alone can significantly suppress hepatic tumorigenesis by enhancing retinol metabolism and inhibiting cell proliferation pathways, highlighting its potential as a chemopreventive agent for HCC.

RRx-001 inhibits G6PD to deplete NADPH and trigger disulfidptosis coupled with DAMP-mediated immunogenic cell death in hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Cell Death Discov)
In vivo, RRx-001 significantly inhibits tumor growth, enhances T-cell infiltration, promotes M1 macrophage polarization, downregulates PD-L1 expression, and strengthens anti-tumor immunity through T cell-related pathways. With both metabolic and immunomodulatory effects, RRx-001 provides a basis for novel HCC therapies, and future research could explore its synergistic effects with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
