Marzena Swiderska‐Syn, Guanhua Xie, Gregory A. Michelotti, Mark L. Jewell, Richard T. Premont, Wing‐Kin Syn, Anna Mae Diehl – 11 March 2016 – Adult liver regeneration requires induction and suppression of proliferative activity in multiple types of liver cells. The mechanisms that orchestrate the global changes in gene expression that are required for proliferative activity to change within individual liver cells, and that coordinate proliferative activity among different types of liver cells, are not well understood.

CD14 receptor signaling is a key mediator of the innate immune system; its common genetic variant is associated with alcoholic liver disease.

Amanda M. Lynn, Siddharth Singh, Stephen E. Congly, Disha Khemani, David H. Johnson, Russell H. Wiesner, Patrick S. Kamath, James C. Andrews, Michael D. Leise – 11 March 2016 – Treatment options for refractory hepatic encephalopathy (HE) are limited. Patients who fail medical management may harbor large portosystemic shunts (PSSs) which are possible therapeutic targets. This study aims to describe patient selection, effectiveness, and safety of percutaneous PSS embolization in those with medically refractory HE.

However, patient prognosis may still be poor even if graft volume (GV) selection criteria are met. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of right lobe (RL) donation when the LL graft selection criteria are met.
