Core Tip

Core Tip: Lipid metabolism and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are pivotal in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. While the prognosis of HCC remains poor and prognostic biomarkers are lacking, lipid metabolism-related lncRNAs may be promising candidates for prognostic biomarkers in HCC.
