Akash Roy, Nipun Verma, Surender Singh, Pranita Pradhan, Sunil Taneja, Meenu Singh – 3 May 2022 – Immune‐mediated liver injury (ILI) following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccination is not well‐characterized. Therefore, we systematically reviewed the literature on ILI after COVID‐19 vaccination. We searched PubMed, Cochrane, Ovid, Embase, and gray literature to include articles describing ILI following COVID‐19 vaccination. Reports without confirmatory evidence from liver biopsy were excluded. Descriptive analysis, and study quality were reported as appropriate.

Karpen, Simon P. Horslen, Stephen L. Guthery, Philip Rosenthal, Robert H. Squires, Ronald J. Sokol, for the Childhood Liver Disease Research Network (ChiLDReN) – 3 May 2022 – The conduct of long‐term conventional randomized clinical trials in rare diseases is very difficult, making evidenced‐based drug development problematic.

Natali S. Sobel Naveh, Emily M. Traxler, Kelly A. Duffy, Jennifer M. Kalish – 3 May 2022 – Beckwith‐Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) is the most common human overgrowth disorder caused by structural and epigenetic changes to chromosome 11p15. Patients with BWS are predisposed to developing hepatoblastoma (HB). To better understand the mechanism of HB oncogenesis in this cancer predisposition background, we performed the first multi‐dimensional study of HB samples collected from patients diagnosed with BWS.

Xingyu Lv, Jiang Chen, Jiayan He, Lidan Hou, Yiyue Ren, Xiaoyun Shen, Yifan Wang, Tong Ji, Xiujun Cai – 3 May 2022 – Pyroptosis is a kind of programmed cell death primarily mediated by gasdermin D (GSDMD) and shown to regulate multiple diseases. However, its contribution to liver regeneration, a fine‐tuned tissue repair process mediated primarily by hepatocytes after mass loss, remains unclear. Herein, we found that caspase‐11/GSDMD‐mediated pyroptosis was activated in regenerating liver after 70% partial hepatectomy.

AASLD endeavors to create and support a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the association and all aspects of the hepatology continuum.

AASLD is a global association committed to connecting scientists, physicians, surgeons and other health care providers interested in liver disease around the world.

Public policy issues having a direct impact on the discipline are actively monitored and communicated by the Public Policy Committee, which is making recommendations to influence issues as they are raised in the nation's capital.

The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases is the leading organization of scientists and health care professionals committed to preventing and curing liver disease.
