Genetic Pathways in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Insights From Systems Biology

Silvia Sookoian, Carlos J. Pirola, Luca Valenti, Nicholas O. Davidson – 14 March 2020 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a burgeoning worldwide epidemic whose etiology reflects multiple interactions between environmental and genetic factors. Here, we review the major pathways and dominant genetic modifiers known to be relevant players in human NAFLD and which may determine key components of the heritability of distinctive disease traits including steatosis and fibrosis.

Hepatotoxicity From Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Systematic Review and Management Recommendation

Thoetchai (Bee) Peeraphatdit, Jennifer Wang, Matthew A. Odenwald, Shaomin Hu, John Hart, Michael R. Charlton – 13 March 2020 – Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are monoclonal antibodies targeting immune checkpoint molecules. ICIs are an immunotherapy for the treatment of many advanced malignancies. The advent of ICIs has been a major breakthrough in the field of oncology, a fact recognized by the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine being awarded for the discovery.

Drug‐Induced Liver Injury in GI Practice

Naemat Sandhu, Victor Navarro – 13 March 2020 – Although drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) is a rare clinical event, it carries significant morbidity and mortality, leaving it as the leading cause of acute liver failure in the United States. It is one of the most challenging diagnoses encountered by gastroenterologists. The development of various drug injury networks has played a vital role in expanding our knowledge regarding drug‐related and herbal and dietary supplement–related liver injury.
