Xiao, Brenna Flatley, Canny Fung, Luis Chiriboga, Christopher M. Walker, David T. Evans, Charles M. Rice, Alexander Ploss – 26 March 2015 – At least 170 million people are chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV).
Cheng‐Maw Ho, Ya‐Hui Chen, Chin‐Sung Chien, Yi‐Tian Ho, Shu‐Li Ho, Rey‐Heng Hu, Hui‐Ling Chen, Po‐Huang Lee – 26 March 2015 – The impact of the rate of intraportal hepatocyte transplantation on early engraftment and repopulation is unclear. The aim of this study was to address this and to improve the engraftment and repopulation efficiencies of hepatocyte transplantation for the treatment of a rat model of acute liver failure in a clinically useful way without preconditioning. Acute hepatic injury was induced into Sprague‐Dawley rats with D‐galactosamine.

Rodriguez, Jesus Prieto, Josune Orbe, Jose A. Páramo, Maite G. Fernández‐Barrena, Carmen Berasain, Matias A. Avila – 23 March 2015 – Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) participate in tissue repair after acute injury, but also participate in cancer by promoting a protumorigenic microenvironment. Previously, we reported on a key role for MMP10 in mouse liver regeneration.
Yishai Avior, Gahl Levy, Michal Zimerman, Daniel Kitsberg, Robert Schwartz, Ronen Sadeh, Arieh Moussaieff, Merav Cohen, Joseph Itskovitz‐Eldor, Yaakov Nahmias – 22 March 2015 – The liver is the main organ responsible for the modification, clearance, and transformational toxicity of most xenobiotics owing to its abundance in cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes. However, the scarcity and variability of primary hepatocytes currently limits their utility.

Rikita I. Hatia, Zoya Dimitrova, Pavel Skums, Elrond Yi‐Lang Teo, Chong‐Gee Teo – 22 March 2015 – The extent of provider‐to‐patient hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission from diversion, self‐injection, and substitution (“tampering”) of anesthetic opioids is unknown. To quantify the contribution of opioid tampering to nosocomial HCV outbreaks, data from health care–related HCV outbreaks occurring in developed countries from 1990 to 2012 were collated, grouped, and compared. Tampering was associated with 17% (8 of 46) of outbreaks, but 53% (438 of 833) of cases.
Thomas Vanwolleghem, Jun Hou, Gertine van Oord, Arno C. Andeweg, A.D.M.E. Osterhaus, Suzan D. Pas, Harry L.A. Janssen, Andre Boonstra – 22 March 2015 – To identify immunological mechanisms that govern distinct clinical phases of a chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection—immune tolerant (IT), immune active (IA), inactive carrier (IC), and hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)‐negative (ENEG) hepatitis phases—we performed a systems biology study.
