Gab1 adaptor protein acts as a gatekeeper to balance hepatocyte death and proliferation during acetaminophen‐induced liver injury in mice

Kunimaro Furuta, Yuichi Yoshida, Satoshi Ogura, Tomohide Kurahashi, Takashi Kizu, Shinichiro Maeda, Mayumi Egawa, Norihiro Chatani, Keigo Nishida, Yoshikazu Nakaoka, Shinichi Kiso, Yoshihiro Kamada, Tetsuo Takehara – 17 December 2015 – Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is the leading cause of drug‐induced acute liver failure. In APAP‐induced acute liver failure, hepatocyte death and subsequent liver regeneration determines the prognosis of patients, making it necessary to identify suitable therapeutic targets based on detailed molecular mechanisms.

Theranostical nanosystem‐mediated identification of an oncogene and highly effective therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma

Yu Guo, Jing Wang, Lu Zhang, Shunli Shen, Ruomi Guo, Yang Yang, Wenjie Chen, Yiru Wang, Guihua Chen, Xintao Shuai – 17 December 2015 – Because the primary surgical treatment options for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)—including hepatic resection and liver transplantation—often fail due to recurrence and metastasis, identifying early prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for HCC is of great importance.
