Yongliang Yang, David Filipovic, Sudin Bhattacharya – 1 November 2021 – The cytochrome P450 (Cyp) proteins Cyp1A1 and Cyp1A2 are strongly induced in the mouse liver by the potent environmental toxicant 2, 3, 7, 8‐tetrachlorodibenzo‐p‐dioxin (TCDD), acting through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). The induction of Cyp1A1 is localized within the centrilobular regions of the mouse liver at low doses of TCDD, progressing to pan‐lobular induction at higher doses.

Selvakumar Malleeswaran, Sivanesan Sivajothi, Mettu Srinivas Reddy – 31 October 2021 – Cirrhosis and liver transplantation (LT) surgery are associated with substantial alterations to the patient’s coagulation status. Accurate monitoring of these changes during LT can help manage bleeding proactively and potentially reduce transfusion requirements.

Tseng, George Michalopoulos, Jian‐Hua Luo – 31 October 2021 – Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal human cancers. Liver transplantation has been an effective approach to treat liver cancer. However, significant numbers of patients with HCC experience cancer recurrence, and the selection of suitable candidates for liver transplant remains a challenge.

Jan C. DeNofrio, Manisha Verma, Andrzej S. Kosinski, Victor Navarro, Tamar H. Taddei, Michael L. Volk, Marie Bakitas, Kavitha Ramchandran – 30 October 2021 – Palliative care (PC) benefits patients with serious illness including end‐stage liver disease (ESLD). As part of a cluster randomized trial, hepatologists were trained to deliver primary palliative care to patients with ESLD using an online course, Palliative Care Always: Hepatology (PCA:Hep). Here we present a multimethod formative evaluation (feasibility, knowledge acquisition, self‐efficacy, and practice patterns) of PCA:Hep.

Cindy Zhang, Andrew Freistaedter, Carolin Schmelas, Manuel Gunkel, Viet Loan Dao Thi, Dirk Grimm – 30 October 2021 – Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major public health problem with limited therapeutic options. Here, we engineered adeno‐associated viral vectors of serotype 6 (AAV6) to express short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) against HEV transcripts with the prospect of down‐regulating HEV replication in vivo. We designed 20 different shRNAs, targeting the genome of the HEV genotype 3 (GT3) Kernow‐C1 p6 strain, for delivery upon AAV6 transduction.
