TGFβ‐induced FOXS1 controls epithelial–mesenchymal transition and predicts a poor prognosis in liver cancer

Kevin Bévant, Matthis Desoteux, Gaëlle Angenard, Raphaël Pineau, Stefano Caruso, Corentin Louis, Panagiotis Papoutsoglou, Laurent Sulpice, David Gilot, Jessica Zucman‐Rossi, Cédric Coulouarn – 25 November 2021 – Transforming growth factor beta (TGF‐β) plays a key role in tumor progression, notably as a potent inducer of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, all of the molecular effectors driving TGFβ‐induced EMT are not fully characterized.

Burnout Among Transplant Hepatologists in the United States

Kamron Pourmand, Thomas D. Schiano, Yash Motwani, Michael Kriss, Laurie Keefer, Arpan Patel – 25 November 2021 – Burnout among transplant hepatologists has not been well characterized. The goal of this study was to describe the prevalence and predictors of burnout among practicing transplant hepatologists in the United States. We designed a 69‐item survey, including the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)–Human Services Survey and questions on provider demographics, practice characteristics, and psychological factors.

Organ‐Specific Comorbidities Are Associated With Distinct Complications After Liver Transplantation for Biliary Atresia

Sarah A. Taylor, Veena Venkat, Ronen Arnon, Vani V. Gopalareddy, Philip Rosenthal, Sarah G. Anderson, Ravinder Anand, James F. Daniel, Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation – 24 November 2021 – Although transplant outcomes for biliary atresia (BA) have improved, there are few data to predict the risk of specific posttransplant complications. We therefore defined the impact of comorbidities in BA on posttransplant outcomes.
