•Identification of the E2F1/CDK5/DRP1 Axis in CIRI This study reveals that the E2F1 transcription factor upregulates CDK5 expression, which in turn phosphorylates DRP1, promoting excessive mitochondrial fission and inhibiting mitophagy in microglia. This mechanism plays a critical role in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI). | |
•Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Neuroinflammation The activation of DRP1 leads to mitochondrial fragmentation and excessive ROS accumulation, triggering microglial activation and inflammatory responses, exacerbating neuronal apoptosis and brain injury in CIRI. | |

•Given the significant heterogeneity in FGF21 expression, not all patients will benefit from FGF21-based therapies. |
•The HSPG2 level in the BM EPCs of AML-CR patients was decreased, which was related to the reduced BM EPC function. | |
•HSPG2 knockdown or Ara-C intervention reduced the HSPG2 level and led to BM EPC dysfunction, which could be restored by HSPG2 treatment in vitro. | |
•HSPG2 treatment restored the BM EPC function of AML-CR patients without affecting their leukaemia cell-supporting ability. |

Solid tumours are intricate and highly heterogeneous ecosystems, which grow in and invade normal organs. Their progression is mediated by cancer cells’ interaction with different cell types, such as immune cells, stromal cells and endothelial cells, and with the extracellular matrix. Owing to its high incidence, aggressive growth and resistance to local and systemic treatments, liver cancer has particularly high mortality rates worldwide. In recent decades, spatial heterogeneity has garnered significant attention as an unfavourable biological characteristic of the tumour microenvironment, prompting extensive research into its role in liver tumour development. Advances in spatial omics have facilitated the detailed spatial analysis of cell types, states and cell‒cell interactions, allowing a thorough understanding of the spatial and temporal heterogeneities of tumour microenvironment and informing the development of novel therapeutic approaches. This review illustrates the latest discovery of the invasive zone, and systematically introduced specific macroscopic spatial heterogeneities, pathological spatial heterogeneities and tumour microenvironment heterogeneities of liver cancer.
