Establishment and characterization of mouse metabolic dysfunction-associated ...

Study establishes MASH-HCC organoids using CDAHFD-fed mice, finding multi-biotics enhance Lenvatinib sensitivity but not prevent resistance. RNA-seq identifies 30 DEGs, including Slc5a8, Vnn3, and Mcm5, linked to metabolic and immune pathways. Enriched pathways like NF-κB and EMT suggest multi-biotics' role in modulating drug response, with potential for adjunct therapy in HCC.
