This paper introduces a 3D HepG2/C3A liver spheroid model that supports the complete intrahepatocytic lifecycle of Plasmodium falciparum, offering an accessible and reproducible alternative to existing models.

This study shows HIV-1 enhances IL-8 production in HSCs in response to LTA through histone H4K5 acetylation, contributing to liver fibrosis in HIV-positive individuals.

This study uses single-cell sequencing to analyze within-host diversity of Plasmodium falciparum in malaria patients, revealing up to seventeen unique lineages per patient and suggesting co-transmission from a single mosquito is more common than superinfection.
