TL;DR: This review presents an overview of clinical hyperthermia and ablation devices used for local, locoregional, and whole body therapy, as well as future perspectives for heating technology for the treatment of tumors.

TL;DR: Animal models will play an increasingly important role in oncology research, especially for solid tumours such as hepatocellular carcinoma that are resistant to chemotherapy, and there is a need for increased awareness of the limitations of these models.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a proof-of-concept development of a magnetic resonance imaging-guided catheter tracking method that utilizes hyperpolarized silicon particles, which are affixed to the tip of standard medical-grade catheters and are used to track passage under set distal and temporal points in phantoms and live mouse models.

TL;DR: The method can be used successfully to ablate tissue in vivo by neutralising acid in situ and releasing heat and a salt, this technique improves considerably upon the use of acetic acid used alone.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the role of the liver vasculature in the progression of chronic liver diseases and hepatocellular carcinoma has been presented, where the authors summarize state-of-the-art vascularized liver-on-a-chip platforms for investigating biological models of liver disease and their influence on the liver sinusoidal endothelial cells.
