Michel Rayar, Jean‐Marie Beaurepaire, Emma Bajeux, Stéphanie Hamonic, Thomas Renard, Clara Locher, Véronique Desfourneaux, Aude Merdrignac, Damien Bergeat, Mohamed Lakehal, Laurent Sulpice, Pauline Houssel‐Debry, Caroline Jezequel, Christophe Camus, Edouard Bardou‐Jacquet, Bernard Meunier – 25 November 2020 – Few studies have evaluated the efficacy or the cost of hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) in the conservation of extended criteria donor (ECD) grafts from donation after brain death (DBD) donors during liver transplantation (LT).

CMTM6 Stabilizes PD‐L1 Expression and Is a New Prognostic Impact Factor in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Kyohei Yugawa, Shinji Itoh, Tomoharu Yoshizumi, Norifumi Iseda, Takahiro Tomiyama, Akinari Morinaga, Takeo Toshima, Noboru Harada, Kenichi Kohashi, Yoshinao Oda, Masaki Mori – 24 November 2020 – CKLF‐like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing 6 (CMTM6) was identified as a regulator of programmed death ligand 1 (PD‐L1), which induces antitumor immunity in several cancers. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between CMTM6 and PD‐L1 expression and clinical outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Introducing EL‐FIT (Exercise and Liver FITness): A Smartphone App to Prehabilitate and Monitor Liver Transplant Candidates

Andrés Duarte‐Rojo, Pamela M. Bloomer, Renee J. Rogers, Mohamed A. Hassan, Michael A. Dunn, Amit D. Tevar, Samantha L. Vivis, Ramon Bataller, Christopher B. Hughes, Arny A. Ferrando, John M. Jakicic, W. Ray Kim – 24 November 2020 – Preserved physical function is key for successful liver transplantation (LT); however, prehabilitation strategies are underdeveloped. We created a smartphone application (app), EL‐FIT (Exercise and Liver FITness), to facilitate exercise training in end‐stage liver disease (ESLD).
