Efficient nonarterialized mouse liver transplantation using 3‐dimensional–printed instruments
Graziano Oldani, Stéphanie Lacotte, Lorenzo A. Orci, Vaihere Delaune, Florence Slits, Quentin Gex, Philippe Morel, Laura Rubbia‐Brandt, Christian Toso – 12 September 2016 – Because of the wide availability of genetically modified animals, mouse orthotopic liver transplantation is often preferred over rat liver transplantation. We present a simplified mouse liver transplantation technique and compare transplantation outcomes with versus without hepatic artery anastomosis. Instruments for liver implantation were designed and printed with a 3‐dimensional (3D) printer.

Role of donor hemodynamic trajectory in determining graft survival in liver transplantation from donation after circulatory death donors
Daniel J. Firl, Koji Hashimoto, Colin O'Rourke, Teresa Diago‐Uso, Masato Fujiki, Federico N. Aucejo, Cristiano Quintini, Dympna M. Kelly, Charles M. Miller, John J. Fung, Bijan Eghtesad – 6 September 2016 – Donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors show heterogeneous hemodynamic trajectories following withdrawal of life support. Impact of hemodynamics in DCD liver transplant is unclear, and objective measures of graft viability would ease transplant surgeon decision making and inform safe expansion of the donor organ pool.
Plasma membrane‐bound G protein–coupled bile acid receptor attenuates liver ischemia/reperfusion injury via the inhibition of toll‐like receptor 4 signaling in mice
Haojun Yang, Haoming Zhou, Lin Zhuang, Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Xuehao Wang, Cheng Feng, Ling Lu – 6 September 2016 – The plasma membrane‐bound G protein–coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) displays varied levels of expression in different tissues. TGR5‐induced liver protection has been demonstrated during several liver diseases, except during ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). Male adult wild‐type and TGR5 knockout (KO) mice were subjected to liver partial warm ischemia/reperfusion.
