Hepcidin Signaling in Health and Disease: Ironing Out the Details

Kris V. Kowdley, Eric M. Gochanour, Vinay Sundaram, Raj A. Shah, Priya Handa – 25 March 2021 – Hepcidin, a peptide hormone produced by hepatocytes, is the central regulator of systemic iron homeostasis through its interaction with ferroportin, the major cellular iron export protein. Hepcidin binding to ferroportin results in reduced iron export from macrophages and intestinal absorptive cells, leading to decreased serum iron levels. Hepcidin expression is influenced by several factors that include serum and liver iron stores, erythropoiesis, hypoxia, inflammation, and infection.

Experimental Models of Liquid Biopsy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Reveal Clone‐Dependent Release of Circulating Tumor DNA

Ismail Labgaa, Johann Felden, Amanda J. Craig, Sebastiao N. Martins‐Filho, Carlos Villacorta‐Martin, Nicolas Demartines, Olivier Dormond, Delia D’Avola, Augusto Villanueva – 22 March 2021 – Liquid biopsy, the molecular analysis of tumor components released into the bloodstream, has emerged as a noninvasive and resourceful means to access genomic information from cancers. Most data derived from translational studies showcase its numerous potential clinical applications.
