While hepatocellular carcinoma is associated with a range of molecular alterations, including the activation of oncogenic signaling pathways, such as Wnt-TGFβ, PI3K-AKT-mTOR, RAS-MAPK, MET, IGF, and Wnt-β-catenin and TP53 and TERT promoter mutations, microfluidic applications have been limited. Here, TGFB1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
