Voluntary wheel running selectively preserves skeletal muscle during pancreatic cancer cachexia despite persistent systemic alterations

This study compares voluntary wheel running and treadmill running in a pancreatic cancer model, finding that VWR preserves skeletal muscle while TR does not, despite similar systemic effects.

PPARgamma, a key modulator of metabolic reprogramming, stemness and chemoresistance associated with retrodifferentiation in human hepatocellular carcinomas

This study identifies PPARgamma as a key regulator of metabolic reprogramming and stemness in hepatic CSCs, linking it to chemoresistance in HCC.

Isolation of rat and human hepatic cholangiocytes using a peptide derived from a conserved domain of enterobacteria BamA/TamA-like proteins

The paper identifies a peptide that binds to cholangiocytes and uses it to isolate human and rat liver epithelial cells, revealing functional differences between small and large cholangiocytes.

Stable lentiviral-mediated expression of Cytochrome P450 2D6 in HepaRG cells: New means for in vitro assessment of xenobiotic biotransformation and cytotoxicity

This paper develops a method to enhance CYP2D6 expression in HepaRG cells using lentiviral transduction, demonstrating improved drug metabolism and toxicity assessment capabilities.

Efficient internalization of poly(benzyl malate) and poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(benzyl malate) copolymer based nanoparticles by human hepatic HepaRG cells and macrophages : Impact of nanoparticle functionalization by GBVA10-9 peptide on cell uptake.

This study compares nanoparticle uptake by HepaRG cells and macrophages, showing PMLABe-based NPs are efficiently internalized while PEGylated variants show reduced uptake, and GBVA10-9 peptide does not significantly affect uptake.
