Hyo Jung Park, Kyoung Won Kim, Jae Hyun Kwon, Jeongjin Lee, Taeyong Park, Heon‐Ju Kwon, Gi‐Won Song, Sung‐Gyu Lee – 14 February 2020 – The spatial variability of hepatic fat reduction in potential living liver donors with hepatic steatosis (HS) who undergo lifestyle modification has not been investigated. Here, we aimed to examine the intrasegmental and intersegmental variability of changes in liver attenuation on computed tomography (CT) in potential living liver donors with HS after diet modification and exercise.

Maureen Whitsett, David M. Feldman, Ira Jacobson – 14 February 2020 – Hepatitis E virus (HEV), of the family Herpesviridae, is a virus that infects nearly 20 million people per year throughout the world. HEV is most commonly transmitted via the fecal‐oral route and has long been described as a virus that afflicts only those in resource‐poor countries. However, HEV has been detected in numerous animal carriers, various food sources, and even in human blood products in resource‐rich regions of the world.

Price, Patrick Ingiliz, Maud Lemoine, Giada Sebastiani, the SHIVER Network – 13 February 2020 – In recent years, there has been an increasing number of clinical trials for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) are commonly excluded from these studies, usually due to concerns over drug–drug interactions associated with antiretroviral therapy.

Kupiec‐Weglinski, Jianjun Zhang, Ning Xu, Yuan Zhai – 13 February 2020 – Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is the nuclear receptor of bile acids and is involved in innate immune regulation. FXR agonists have been shown to protect multiple organs from inflammatory tissue injuries. Because liver expresses high levels of FXR, we explored the potential therapeutic benefits and underlying mechanisms of pharmacologic FXR activation in a murine model of partial liver warm ischemia.

Jean‐Charles Nault, Augusto Villanueva – 11 February 2020 – The clinical management of primary liver cancers such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) has significantly changed in the last 3 years. The introduction of systemic therapies, including immune‐based therapies and biomarker‐driven therapies, has significantly improved survival, particularly in patients at advanced stages of disease. Survival is still poor, and projections from the World Health Organization underscore the need to improve outcomes in these patients.
