MLXIPL and hepatocellular carcinoma: Single-cell studies of tumor cell heterogeneity in HCC. The authors identified heterogeneous sub clones of tumor cells in HCC tissues, including 5 HCC and 2 hepatocyte subpopulations, and found that MLX interacting protein-like (MLXIPL) was usually upregulated in HCC single cells and tissues and correlated with prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
