Li, Rosanne Spolski, Erin E. West, Yrina Rochman, Warren J. Leonard, Mohammed Bourdi, Lance R. Pohl – 10 April 2014 – Liver eosinophilia has been associated with incidences of drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) for more than 50 years, although its role in this disease has remained largely unknown.

Phosphorylation of ABCB4 impacts its function: Insights from disease‐causing mutations

Julien Gautherot, Danièle Delautier, Marie‐Anne Maubert, Tounsia Aït‐Slimane, Gérard Bolbach, Jean‐Louis Delaunay, Anne‐Marie Durand‐Schneider, Delphine Firrincieli, Véronique Barbu, Nicolas Chignard, Chantal Housset, Michèle Maurice, Thomas Falguières – 10 April 2014 – The ABCB4 transporter mediates phosphatidylcholine (PC) secretion at the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes and its genetic defects cause biliary diseases.

Index‐based dietary patterns and risk of incident hepatocellular carcinoma and mortality from chronic liver disease in a prospective study

Wen‐Qing Li, Yikyung Park, Katherine A. McGlynn, Albert R. Hollenbeck, Philip R. Taylor, Alisa M. Goldstein, Neal D. Freedman – 9 April 2014 – The role of diet in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its typical precursor, chronic liver disease (CLD), is poorly understood. Following dietary recommendations has been shown to reduce risk of many cancers, but whether such diets are associated with HCC and CLD is unknown.

Generation of functional cholangiocyte‐like cells from human pluripotent stem cells and HepaRG cells

Noushin Dianat, Hélène Dubois‐Pot‐Schneider, Clara Steichen, Christophe Desterke, Philippe Leclerc, Aurélien Raveux, Laurent Combettes, Anne Weber, Anne Corlu, Anne Dubart‐Kupperschmitt – 9 April 2014 – Cholangiocytes are biliary epithelial cells, which, like hepatocytes, originate from hepatoblasts during embryonic development.

New‐onset cognitive dysfunction impairs the quality of life in patients after liver transplantation

Anita Blanka Tryc, Henning Pflugrad, Annemarie Goldbecker, Hannelore Barg‐Hock, Christian P. Strassburg, Hartmut Hecker, Karin Weissenborn – 8 April 2014 – Patients after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) may show cognitive dysfunction. To date, it has not been clear whether this dysfunction is due to residual hepatic encephalopathy (HE) or new‐onset cognitive disturbances. Just as little is known about the course and clinical significance.
