  "abstract": "Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) enables RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to assemble into dynamic biomolecular condensates that influence post-transcriptional regulation. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), these condensates may alter RNA processing and stability. They can also influence transcript localization and translational output. Through these effects, RBP condensates may contribute to tumor growth and metastatic progression. They may further support metabolic adaptation, immune evasion and resistance to therapy. The present review focuses on the intersection between LLPS and post-transcriptional regulation in HCC. In addition, the present review critically assessed current evidence for RBP condensate function and distinguish direct HCC findings from mechanistic extrapolation. Unresolved questions regarding causality and clinical translation were also discussed. This framework may help clarify how condensate biology contributes to HCC and where therapeutic opportunities remain.",
