Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a dominant cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Recently, it was shown that HBV and woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) integrate into the …

Hepatocytes, the predominant cellular constituents of the liver, exhibit the highest
mitochondrial density within the human body. Remarkably, experimental insights from the …

Objective Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) represents one of the most
prevalent chronic liver conditions worldwide, but its precise pathogenesis remains unclear …

Introduction Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and mitochondrial mass (MM) affect
mitochondrial function and lymphocyte activation, but few studies on HBV infection exist …

Mitochondria have been identified as the “powerhouse” of the cell, generating the cellular
energy, ATP, for almost seven decades. Research over time has uncovered a multifaceted …

Mitochondria play important roles in the synthesis of ATP, the production of reactive oxygen
species, and the regulation of innate immune response and apoptosis. Many viruses perturb …

The viral intra-host genetic diversities and interactions with the human genome during
decades of persistence remain poorly characterized. In this study, we analyzed the …

The global burden of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains high, with chronic hepatitis B
(CHB) patients facing a significantly increased risk of develo** cirrhosis and …

Simple Summary Mitochondria are important organelles in the human body, and they act as
a source of chemical energy for different cellular processes. Multiple copies of mitochondria …

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) damages liver cells through abnormal immune responses.
Mitochondrial metabolism is necessary for effector functions of white blood cells (WBCs) …
