Maeva Guillaume, Elodie Riant, Aurélie Fabre, Isabelle Raymond‐Letron, Melissa Buscato, Morgane Davezac, Blandine Tramunt, Alexandra Montagner, Sarra Smati, Rana Zahreddine, Gaëlle Palierne, Marie‐Cécile Valera, Hervé Guillou, Françoise Lenfant, Klaus Unsicker, Raphaël Metivier, Coralie Fontaine, Jean‐François Arnal, Pierre Gourdy – 29 April 2019 – Hepatocyte estrogen receptor α (ERα) was recently recognized as a relevant molecular target for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) prevention.

LiverLearning®: 2019 Webinar: Liver Lesions 101

This session will cover principles of imaging characteristics of benign and malignant hepatic lesions. Attendees will also receive an overview of the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADs) for imaging findings in liver lesions and common biomarkers associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. We will utilize a live webinar format that will be recorded for on-demand viewing on Liver Learning ® .

Receptor‐Interacting Protein Kinase 3 Deficiency Recruits Myeloid‐Derived Suppressor Cells to Hepatocellular Carcinoma Through the Chemokine (C‐X‐C Motif) Ligand 1–Chemokine (C‐X‐C Motif) Receptor 2 Axis

Yi‐Ming Li, Zhen‐Yu Liu, Jian‐Chao Wang, Jing‐Min Yu, Zhu‐Chun Li, Hai‐Jiao Yang, Juan Tang, Zhi‐Nan Chen – 25 April 2019 – Receptor‐interacting protein kinase 3 (RIP3) is the core regulator that switches cell death from apoptosis to necrosis. However, its role in tumor immunity is unknown. In this study, decreased RIP3 expression was observed in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which correlates with myeloid‐derived suppressor cell (MDSC) accumulation. Moreover, RIP3 is a prognosis factor for patients with HCC.

The Effect of Immunosuppression on Coagulation After Liver Transplantation

Sotiria Bedreli, Katja Straub, Anne Achterfeld, Katharina Willuweit, Antonios Katsounas, Fuat Saner, Heiner Wedemeyer, Kerstin Herzer – 25 April 2019 – Everolimus (EVR) is a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor commonly used for immunosuppression (IS) after liver transplantation (LT). However, there are concerns about whether mTOR inhibitors may move the hemostatic balance toward a higher likelihood of thrombosis. The present study aimed to investigate potential coagulation disorders after the administration of EVR.
