Genetic Pathways in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Insights From Systems Biology

Silvia Sookoian, Carlos J. Pirola, Luca Valenti, Nicholas O. Davidson – 14 March 2020 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a burgeoning worldwide epidemic whose etiology reflects multiple interactions between environmental and genetic factors. Here, we review the major pathways and dominant genetic modifiers known to be relevant players in human NAFLD and which may determine key components of the heritability of distinctive disease traits including steatosis and fibrosis.

Nonhospice Palliative Care Within the Treatment of End‐Stage Liver Disease

Manisha Verma, Elliot B. Tapper, Amit G. Singal, Victor Navarro – 13 March 2020 – Palliative care (PC) that has evolved from a focus on end‐of‐life care to an expanded form of holistic care at an early stage for patients with serious illnesses and their families is commonly referred to as nonhospice PC (or early PC). Patients with end‐stage liver disease (ESLD) suffer from a high symptom burden and a deteriorated quality of life (QOL), with uncertain prognosis and limited treatment options.

Hepatotoxicity From Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Systematic Review and Management Recommendation

Thoetchai (Bee) Peeraphatdit, Jennifer Wang, Matthew A. Odenwald, Shaomin Hu, John Hart, Michael R. Charlton – 13 March 2020 – Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are monoclonal antibodies targeting immune checkpoint molecules. ICIs are an immunotherapy for the treatment of many advanced malignancies. The advent of ICIs has been a major breakthrough in the field of oncology, a fact recognized by the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine being awarded for the discovery.
