Development of Ectopic Livers by Hepatocyte Transplantation Into Swine Lymph Nodes

Paulo Fontes, Junji Komori, Roberto Lopez, Wallis Marsh, Eric Lagasse – 18 August 2020 – Orthotopic liver transplantation continues to be the only effective therapy for patients with end‐stage liver disease. Unfortunately, many of these patients are not considered transplant candidates, lacking effective therapeutic options that would address both the irreversible progression of their hepatic failure and the control of their portal hypertension. In this prospective study, a swine model was exploited to induce subacute liver failure.

Activation of Liver X Receptor α Sensitizes Mice to T‐Cell Mediated Hepatitis

Li Gao, Bin Li, Jingyuan Wang, Danhua Shen, Min Yang, Runzi Sun, Hung‐Chun Tung, Meishu Xu, Songrong Ren, Min Zhang, Da Yang, Binfeng Lu, Hui Wang, Yulan Liu, Wen Xie – 12 August 2020 – Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an inflammatory disease of the liver. Liver X receptors (LXRs), including the α and β isoforms, are previously known for their anti‐inflammatory activities. The goal of this study is to determine whether and how LXR plays a role in AIH.

Serum Sphingosine‐1‐Phosphate Is Decreased in Patients With Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure and Predicts Early Mortality

Victoria T. Mücke, Katharina Maria Schwarzkopf, Dominique Thomas, Marcus M. Mücke, Sabrina Rüschenbaum, Jonel Trebicka, Josef Pfeilschifter, Stefan Zeuzem, Christian M. Lange, Georgios Grammatikos – 12 August 2020 – Sphingosine‐1‐phosphate (S1P) regulates pathophysiological processes, including liver regeneration, vascular tone control, and immune response. In patients with liver cirrhosis, acute deterioration of liver function is associated with high mortality rates.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Hispanic Patients: Trends and Outcomes in a Large United States Cohort

Sydney Pomenti, Cassandra Gandle, Hamzah Abu Sbeih, Meaghan Phipps, Alexandra Livanos, Averill Guo, Jonathan Yeh, Heather Burney, Hao Liu, Lara Dakhoul, Carla Kettler, Samer Gawrieh, Andrew deLemos, Andrew Scanga, Naga Chalasani, Ethan Miller, Julia Wattacheril – 12 August 2020 – Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a strong racial and ethnic association, with Hispanic patients having a higher incidence and mortality. However, there are limited data regarding clinical features and outcomes.
