Robert L. Kruse, Jennifer R. Kramer, Gia L. Tyson, Zhigang Duan, Liang Chen, Hashem B. El‐Serag, Fasiha Kanwal – 28 July 2014 – The effect of hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfection in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains unclear.

Ekihiro Seki, Robert F. Schwabe – 26 July 2014 – Inflammation is one of the most characteristic features of chronic liver disease of viral, alcoholic, fatty, and autoimmune origin. Inflammation is typically present in all disease stages and associated with the development of fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. In the past decade, numerous studies have contributed to improved understanding of the links between hepatic inflammation and fibrosis.
