A novel integrative machine learning-based prognostic model reveals lactylation regulation in hepatocellular carcinoma progression

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant liver tumor with poor clinical outcomes. Accumulated evidence has demonstrated lactylation plays a vital role in the metabolic reprogramming. However the mechanisms underlying the role of lactylation in the regulation of HCC progression remain largely unknown. This study aims to construct a prognostic model based on lactylation-related metabolism genes, and further explore its prognostic significance and biological function in HCC.
