Analysis of factors associated with portal vein thrombosis in pediatric living donor liver transplant recipients

Joao Seda Neto, Eduardo A. Fonseca, Flávia H. Feier, Renata Pugliese, Helry L. Candido, Marcel R. Benavides, Gilda Porta, Irene K. Miura, Vera B. Danesi, Teresa Guimaraes, Adriana Porta, Cristian Borges, Andre Godoy, Mario Kondo, Paulo Chapchap – 20 June 2014 – The technique of vascular reconstruction plays a major role in the outcome of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). An increased use of vascular grafts (VGs) as replacements for sclerotic portal veins has become a standard technique for our group.

Standing the test of time: Outcomes of a decade of prioritizing patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, results of the UNOS natural geographic experiment

Emerging roles of Notch signaling in liver disease

Fabian Geisler, Mario Strazzabosco – 16 June 2014 – This review critically discusses the most recent advances in the role of Notch signaling in liver development, homeostasis, and disease. It is now clear that the significance of Notch in determining mammalian cell fates and functions extends beyond development, and Notch is a major regular of organ homeostasis. Moreover, Notch signaling is reactivated upon injury and regulates the complex interactions between the distinct liver cell types involved in the repair process.

Timed regulation of P‐element‐induced wimpy testis–interacting RNA expression during rat liver regeneration

Francesca Rizzo, Adnan Hashim, Giovanna Marchese, Maria Ravo, Roberta Tarallo, Giovanni Nassa, Giorgio Giurato, Antonio Rinaldi, Angela Cordella, Marcello Persico, Pia Sulas, Andrea Perra, Giovanna M. Ledda‐Columbano, Amedeo Columbano, Alessandro Weisz – 16 June 2014 – Small noncoding RNAs comprise a growing family of molecules that regulate key cellular processes, including messenger RNA (mRNA) degradation, translational repression, and transcriptional gene silencing.
