    Cirrhosis is characterized by a temporal mismatch between biochemical clearance and mechanical regeneration, leading to persistent hepatocellular carcinoma risk.

  • 2

    The Chronological Decoupling hypothesis identifies a critical failure in the sequence of biochemical and mechanical signals during liver injury.

  • 3

    Signal A involves macrophage polarization and ECM degradation, while Signal B pertains to hepatocyte regeneration through mechanotransduction.

  • 4

    LOXL2 plays a key role in chaotic deconstruction by cross-linking collagen, complicating treatment efficacy in advanced cirrhosis.

  • 5

    The proposed Protocol Resynchronization therapy aims to align biochemical and mechanical signals to restore liver function and reduce HCC risk.
