Timucin Taner, Nitin Abrol, Walter D. Park, Michael J. Hansen, Michael P. Gustafson, Lilach O. Lerman, Andre J. Wijnen, Allan B. Dietz, Gregory J. Gores, Mark D. Stegall – 16 January 2020 – The liver is an immunologically active organ with a tolerogenic microenvironment at a quiescent state. The immunoregulatory properties of the liver appear to be retained after transplantation because liver allografts can reduce alloresponses against other organs that are simultaneously transplanted. Mechanisms of this phenomenon remain unknown.

Dols, the LiverHope Consortium Investigators – 16 January 2020 – Cirrhosis is a complex disease that is associated with disturbances in different organs besides the liver, including kidneys, heart, arterial circulation, lungs, gut, and brain.

No studies have evaluated the prolonged‐release pirfenidone (PR‐PFD) properties on NASH features.

Gopanandan Parthasarathy, Xavier Revelo, Harmeet Malhi – 14 January 2020 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a heterogeneous group of liver diseases characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver. The heterogeneity of NAFLD is reflected in a clinical and histologic spectrum where some patients develop isolated steatosis of the liver, termed nonalcoholic fatty liver, whereas others develop hepatocyte injury, ballooning, inflammation, and consequent fibrosis, termed nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Heather Bradley, Eric W. Hall, Elizabeth M. Rosenthal, Patrick S. Sullivan, A. Blythe Ryerson, Eli S. Rosenberg – 14 January 2020 – Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of liver‐related morbidity and mortality, and more than 2 million adults in the United States are estimated to be currently infected. Reducing HCV burden will require an understanding of demographic disparities and targeted efforts to reduce prevalence in populations with disproportionate disease rates. We modeled state‐level estimates of hepatitis C prevalence among U.S.
