Gabriel G. Malouf, Sylvie Job, Valérie Paradis, Monique Fabre, Laurence Brugières, Pierre Saintigny, Laure Vescovo, Jacques Belghiti, Sophie Branchereau, Sandrine Faivre, Aurélien Reyniès, Eric Raymond – 17 January 2014 – Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) is a rare subtype of liver cancer occurring mostly in children and young adults. We have shown that FLC comprises two separate entities: pure (p‐FLC) and mixed‐FLC (m‐FLC), differing in clinical presentation and course.

Chien‐Hsieh Chiang, Long‐Teng Lee, Shou‐Hung Hung, Wen‐Yuan Lin, Hui‐Fang Hung, Wei‐Shiung Yang, Pei‐Kun Sung, Kuo‐Chin Huang – 15 January 2014 – Limited data exist regarding metabolic risk factors for deaths from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in aging individuals. We investigated the association between diabetes, dyslipidemia, and HCC mortality in those aged 40 years or more (middle‐aged and elderly).

William O. Osburn, Anna E. Snider, Brittany L. Wells, Rachel Latanich, Justin R. Bailey, David L. Thomas, Andrea L. Cox, Stuart C. Ray – 15 January 2014 – The contribution of humoral immune responses to spontaneous control of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains unclear. We assessed neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses during acute HCV infection to determine whether infection outcome is associated with the nAb response, specifically, its timing or breadth (neutralization of multiple genotype‐matched variants).

Jae Ho Lee, Gha Young Lee, Hagoon Jang, Sung Sik Choe, Seung‐Hoi Koo, Jae Bum Kim – 15 January 2014 – Sterol regulatory element binding protein1c (SREBP1c) is a key transcription factor for de novo lipogenesis during the postprandial state. During nutritional deprivation, hepatic SREBP1c is rapidly suppressed by fasting signals to prevent lipogenic pathways. However, the molecular mechanisms that control SREBP1c turnover in response to fasting status are not thoroughly understood.

Jia‐Hao Jiang, Yan‐Feng Liu, Ai‐Wu Ke, Fang‐Ming Gu, Yao Yu, Zhi Dai, Qiang Gao, Guo‐Ming Shi, Bo‐Yi Liao, You‐Hua Xie, Jia Fan, Xiao‐Wu Huang, Jian Zhou – 15 January 2014 – Virus‐induced hepatocarcinogenesis involves a series of histological developmental processes with the stepwise acquisition of several genetic changes that are necessary for the malignant transformation of hepatocytes. Although genetic alterations are known to be involved in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), little is known about the contributions of specific genes to this process.
