Han‐Yue OuYang, Jing Xu, Jun Luo, Ru‐Hai Zou, Keng Chen, Yong Le, Yong‐Fa Zhang, Wei Wei, Rong‐Ping Guo, Ming Shi – 13 December 2015 – Although many staging classifications have been proposed for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), determining a patient's prognosis in clinical practice is a challenge due to the molecular diversity of HCC. We investigated the relationship between MEP1A, a candidate oncogene, and clinical outcomes of HCC patients; furthermore, we explored the role of MEP1A in HCC.

To date, these two approaches have never been compared.

Yonglong Zhang, Yanfeng Liu, Jinlin Duan, Haibo Yan, Jun Zhang, Huilu Zhang, Qi Fan, Feifei Luo, Guoquan Yan, Ke Qiao, Jie Liu – 13 December 2015 – Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer‐related death. However, the underlying mechanism during hepatocarcinogenesis remains unclarified. Stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) is a powerful quantitative strategy for proteome‐wide discovery of novel biomarkers in cancers. Hippocalcin‐like 1 (HPCAL1) is a calcium sensor protein.

Giulio Marchesini, Salvatore Petta, Riccardo Dalle Grave – 11 December 2015 – Fatty liver accumulation results from an imbalance between lipid deposition and removal, driven by the hepatic synthesis of triglycerides and de novo lipogenesis. The habitual diet plays a relevant role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and both risky (e.g., fructose) and protective foods (Mediterranean diet) have been described, but the contribution of excess calories remains pivotal. Accordingly, weight loss is the most effective way to promote liver fat removal.
